She had a nearly perfect couple of races in the Women Amateur (12+) and the Girls Sr (12-16). Jarvis pulled the holeshot in the Women Amateur race which put her in a
heated battle with none other than Jamie Astudillo. Astudillo was able to make the pass early on the 1st lap after the wall jump going into the tight switchback corners. She forced her KTM into the preferred line and gave Jarvis no other choice than to take the outside. The two of them rode wheel to wheel for a couple of laps, Jarvis staying out of the preferred line and looking to make the pass. She was finally able to do so just before the finish line with a well measured block pass as the two of them trounced the rest of the field by over 3 seconds per lap. Jarvis ended up winning with a comfortable 2.5 second lead. The Girls Sr race saw Jarvis and Astudillo start out front again, this time with the Yamaha of Jarvis in second. She forced a pass on Astudillo halfway through the first lap and never looked back, taking her second championship of the day in dominating fashion.
