Times slowed in Qualification 2 for the High Point Nationals in Mount Morris, Pennsylvania. Chance Hymas was fastest early in the second session with a speed of 2:06.037, but Haiden Deegan’s speed from the first session held up for the fastest overall.
It was reported there were some issues with timing and scoring from Qualification 1, but Deegan’s lap of 2:02.798 was not affected. Deegan was second fastest to Hymas in Q2, so the battle was between these two riders.
Julien Beaumer was well outside the top five in the first session, but he popped up to third in Q2.
Fourth-place Seth Hammaker (2:06.943) and Drew Adams (2:07.061) rounded out the top five.

In the first qualification sessions, Deegan had an almost two-second advantage over Hymas for Round 4 with a time of 2:02.798. Losing Round 3 at Thunder Valley must have gotten his attention.
Second on the board, Hymas (2:04.621) needs to put more pressure on his rival if he wants to cut into the defending champion’s points lead.
Levi Kitchen (2:05.177) landed third on the speed chart with another half-second deficit to Hymas and 2.38 seconds to Deegan.
Jo Shimoda recovered from his Colorado stumble to post the fourth quickest time of 2:05.732.
Drew Adams (2:05.793) rounded out the top five in Q1.
Returning from an Achilles tendon injury, Jalek Swoll (2:05.845) narrowly missed the top five by 0.053 seconds. He was sixth on the chart, bettering his teammates Austin Forkner (15th / 2:07.587) and Jordon Smith (16th / 2:07.619) by a wide margin.
