In the Peewee 2 division, Jonoah Santos still holds the crown.
First place has always been up for grabs in the peewee divisions with each of the participating riders always giving it their all.
On Dec. 6, Manglona placed fifth overall in the Peewee 1 division, but last Sunday, he showed more confidence and better speed and control skills as he stayed ahead of the competition during the entire race.
Bentley Koshiro, who previously claimed overall first place, prevailed once again in the first heat with Manglona trailing behind in second place.
But Manglona managed to find his second wind in heat 2 as he rushed past Koshiro to take first place.

Because heat 2 was also the tie breaker, Manglona took the overall top spot while Koshiro settled for second place.
Zane Fujihira was another contender, finishing third. Tate Manglona was fourth, “Baby” Joe Santos was fifth, and Rockson Cabrera was sixth. Sage Togawa and Keoni Rosario also participated but were unable to finish.
In the ATV category it was Brooklyn Susulin who dominated while Melvin Reyes claimed second place.
In the Peewee 2 division Jonoah Santos was once again triumphant.
It was a tough race as Keenon Togawa also aimed for the top spot. Fortunately for Jonoah Santos, he kept his cool and used tight turns to gain the advantage, eventually overtaking Togawa who ended in second place overall followed by Rylie Manglona in third, Kimason Cabrera in fourth and Harley Susulin in fifth.
