Last year at The Uninvited Invitational, Taylor rode away from the handplant heard 'round the world and won the Heart Award. Over the past year, she has shared her experiences as she navigates multiple sclerosis while remaining a beaming ray of determination, positivity, and wisdom. On Friday, she planted the cage at WWPC, cementing another incredible moment into the memories of everyone present.

Congratulations to all of the day 2 qualifiers standouts! Everyone rode incredibly!
