I am 13 years old and turning 14 this year. I have been riding for approximately 9 years on our family farm for fun and recreation, and racing competitively for the past 3.5 years.

Last year I moved up into the 13–16 year old age group, which was a big step as I was the youngest rider in each race. I also also competed in Junior Pro Lite, which meant racing in two classes at each race meeting. I really enjoyed the extra seat time and the challenge of racing against more experienced riders.

2025 was also my first year racing motocross. While I didn’t place high in individual races, I focused on consistency and finishing every race, which resulted in solid overall results for the season.

Goals for the 2026 Racing Season

• Always do my best no matter the conditions or circumstances
• Stay upright and ride smart
