Lachlan Turner sweeps Women's division for first Loretta Lynn's title
Turner had unfinished business in the Loretta's. As the defending Women's Pro Motocross (WMX) champion, no one questioned her skill; however, she had failed to secure a divisional championship in the biggest event of amateur racing. Turner won each moto with dominant gaps over second place. Her victory over Herrick was 41.734 seconds as the eventual runner-up finisher worked her way through a determined field.
Turner's overall strength was highlighted by a 19th-place finish earlier in the day in the 250 B Limited class that is dominated by male riders.
Dan Beaver,
Herrick had a modest start in fifth. It took three laps to get into podium contention and another couple of trips around the circuit to move around Kyleigh Stallings into second. The lead was out of the question by that point, with Turner more than 30 seconds ahead, but Herrick matched the leader's pace during the next three laps before losing significant ground on the final lap.
Herrick's second-place finish on Saturday, combined with fourth-place results in the first two motos, placed her third overall in the divisional standings by a tiebreaker over Jordan Jarvis.
Stallings swept the podium with second-place finishes in Motos 1 and 2, plus her third-place finish on Saturday. For half of Moto 3, it appeared she might finish second for the third time, and rode in that position until Lap 5.
Stallings and Turner will leave Tennessee and head to Indiana for the resumption of the WMX Championship next weekend.
Fourth-place finisher Jarvis will join them at Ironman Raceway. She came up one position short of also sweeping the podium.
Five was the operative number for Mila Baltyk, who finished fifth in Moto1, Moto 3, and in the overall standings. Baltyk's other finish during the week was sixth in Moto 2.

Golden State Warriors jersey history - No. 20 - Bill Turner (1970-71)
The Golden State Warriors have had over 600 players don the more than 60 jersey numbers used by their players over the more than 75 years of existence the team has enjoyed in its rich and storied history. Founded in 1946 during the Basketball Association of America (BAA -- a precursor league of the NBA) era, the team has called home the cities of Philadelphia, San Francisco, Oakland, and even San Diego. To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Warriors Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. For this article, we begin with the sixth of 29 players who wore the No. 20 jersey for the Warriors. That player would be Golden State forward alum Bill Turner. After ending his college career at Akron, Turner was picked up with the 27th overall selection of the 1967 NBA Draft by the (then) San Francisco (now, Golden State) Warriors. The Cleveland, Ohio native would play parts of the first three seasons of his pro career with the Dubs before being dealt to the (then) Cincinnati Royals (now, Sacramento Kings) for a single season in 1969 before returning to Golden State for two more seasons, coming to an end when he was waived in 1972. During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Turner wore jersey Nos. 12, 22, 20, and 34, and put up 5.2 points and 3.5 assists per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.

Revolution hope Matt Turner's return can provide a push for playoffs. For Turner, it could mean regaining his place with USMNT ahead of World Cup.
The move might benefit both the Revolution and Turner, who lost his US national team starting place due to lack of club playing time, though it was hardly serendipitous. Turner had been preparing for a 40-game-plus European season but, instead, will compete for two and a half months of the MLS regular season, then go through an off-season lasting into February. As for the Revolution, their biggest failings have not been in goal — Aljaz Ivacic has eight shutouts this season, two short of Matt Reis's team record — but up front, as no forward has converted more than four times. Turner joins two attackers, Tomás Chancalay and Carles Gil, as Revolution designated players, though he likely will be tagged as Targeted Allocation Money-eligible next year. Turner, who played for Fairfield University before joining the Revolution in 2016, could be inserted in the lineup Saturday against D.C. United, sporting director Curt Onalfo said. Advertisement 'Matt is a game-changer,' Onalfo said. 'He's one of these guys that can turn a shot that should be a goal into a save. We're continually looking to make our team better, and when we evaluated this scenario it was a no-brainer. We feel very fortunate that Matt will help us with more clean sheets, which gives us the opportunity to win games. [Turner] is also a winner. He'll be a really important part of our locker room. 'And in games, when you have those unfortunate moments, when the momentum is shifting, you need key leaders to step up and help change those moments and turn them into settling the team, and then pushing forward to get the results.' Only 10 matches remain for the Revolution (6-11-7, 25 points) to rally from a 10-point playoff deficit. Riding a nine-match winless streak, they could use a spark — as well as improved chemistry and communication — but might have to adjust tactically, as strategy has been devised around Ivacic's ability to distribute. 'I know this club is going through some difficult moments this season, and I want to bring that winning mentality back and create relationships that will last a lifetime with the supporters and with the guys in the locker room,' Turner said. 'Of course, I back myself to help propel this team to win games, and I've been in late playoff hunts before — Advertisement Matt Turner (left) retook control of his No. 30 with Revolution sporting director Curt Onalfo on Monday in Foxborough. Mimi Murad/New England Revolution Last month, Turner earned a $9.2 million transfer to Olympique Lyonnais, but he became available as financial problems affected Lyon's ability to pay salaries. Club president Michele Kang, who owns the Washington Spirit of the NWSL, adopted an austerity program in a deal that allowed Lyon to avoid relegation and remain in France's Ligue 1. With the Revolution, Turner helped the team advance to three successive playoffs (2019-21), then The team has mostly struggled since, though, and two supporters groups recently 'I can't blame the fans and the supporters' groups for being upset and being frustrated,' Onalfo said. 'We are frustrated. There's probably no one that is more frustrated than me as I sit at the helm. Our job is to continue to make the team better. We're doing that today, and we will continue to do that. The area that we have to get better in is we have to be better at home. It will help to have [Turner] in goal, assuming he starts the game. 'The way I look at it is, how do we channel that frustration and that emotion into something that's productive for everybody? That's my approach, and hopefully the fans can come this weekend with that mentality in mind so that we can get a win this weekend.' Advertisement Frank Dell'Apa can be reached at

Matt Turner's ‘European adventure didn't go perfectly to plan,' but he's excited to be back with the Revolution
While Lyon successfully appealed the relegation penalty, the club sought to clear its books as much as possible, including an effort to move on from Turner. Advertisement In a piece of quick thinking, the Revolution front office moved to sign him during the midseason MLS transfer window. 'Credit to the staff here,' 'I think for me, it was always New England. It was always my home, it was always [about] coming back here when the opportunity presented itself,' he added. 'It's a good situation. It's the right time for us.' Advertisement As for his time overseas, he had a characteristically upbeat interpretation. 'My European adventure didn't go perfectly to plan, but I did learn a lot along the way,' Turner said. 'Had some misfortunes, had some opportunities that I didn't make the most of as well, so it just didn't go perfectly to plan,' but also said he had, 'zero regrets about my time in England.' The past couple month in which his potential move to Lyon fell apart within weeks of it originally being put together, Turner cited his family for helping him to get through it. 'It was a trying time,' he said. 'It was difficult to be in limbo for a while.' A turning point in the decision to return to the Revs may have taken place July 10 when he was at Gillette Stadium for 'The way I felt the love from [the fans] is special, and it's been awhile since I've felt those arms sort of around me, and it was eye-opening for sure,' Turner said. 'It's good to be back in an environment where you're loved. 'But at the same time, I don't want to sour any milk. I want to work. I want to continue the journey that I'm on here, and for this to be a huge part of launching that journey as well. I'm not here just to parade around and be Matt Turner. I know and I understand that this club has [been] going through some difficult moments this season, and I want to bring that winning mentality back and create relationships that will last a lifetime with the supporters and the guys in the locker room.' Advertisement Matt Turner signing autographs after his final game with the Revolution before going to Arsenal in 2022. MARK STOCKWELL FOR THE BOSTON GLOBE The 'difficult moments' Turner alluded to are not past tense. The Revolution are stuck in a nine-game winless run, and have fallen to 11th in the Eastern Conference and 10 points out of a playoff spot. With 10 games to go, the Revolution's playoff prospects are dim at best. Both of the club's supporters' groups What the Revolution's plan will be over the next few days remains to be seen. Turner's status for Saturday's home game against D.C. United is uncertain, and current starter Aljaz Ivacic remains on the roster. Expecting a goalkeeper (or any individual player) to change the fortunes of a team is asking too much. Still, if Turner can inject some much needed confidence into the Revolution back line and at least halt the winless run, it could help to build some momentum. Having a player of Turner's caliber and charisma will be a net-positive for a club searching for something to be positive about. After being named MLS Goalkeeper of the Year in 2021 and helping the Revolution win the Supporters' Shield, Turner started for the US at the 2022 World Cup. 'When I left, I never stopped being a Revolution supporter myself. This club has meant so much to me, and to my family.' Advertisement Hayden Bird can be reached at
