Just a week after wrapping up the New Zealand championships, women's world champion Prumm overcame freezing temperatures, a slick starting surface and some of the best motocross women in the world.
Her next international assignment is to attend the FIM world championship prizegiving ceremony in Monaco next weekend, where she will receive her winner's medal for dominating the 2007 women's world championship/
In the Texas race she was soon through to the lead and even with visibility problems built a solid margin. With three laps to go, Prumm saw her chance and took it, stretching out to a seven-second lead and winning easily.
