PERSONAL: I have lived in Flat Rock, North Carolina my whole life. I have always been an Honor Roll Student. I was recently inducted into the East Henderson High School National Junior Honor Society. I have received several Physical Fitness Awards, including the President’s Award for Physical Fitness. When I am not racing, I enjoy practicing, play riding with my little sister, music, running and playing with my dog Holeshot. My favorite racers are Kevin Windham and Ashley Fiolek.
RACING BACKGROUND: I started racing motocross in 1999 at the age of 4, on a Yamaha PW50. I had fun and won several races. I raced for a little while on 65’s. I quit racing motocross for about 4 years and raced BMX for a couple of years. I started racing motocross again in the winter of 2007. I raced the last 9 out of 12 Victory Sports Indoor Series races in the Women’s class. My best finish was second and I finished third overall in the series. I attended the Tony D Motocross School in the summer of 2008 and really enjoyed it. I've made it to Loretta Lynn's Amatuer Championship in 2009 and 2010. In 2011, I was the 4th alternate in the Womens class at Loretta Lynns, but decided not to go. I hope to go to the Mini-O's at Thanksgiving but am not sure if I will be able to.
Riding Goals
2012 GOALS: My number one goal for 2012 is to make it to Loretta Lynn's! So, I will need to race as many races as I can to prepare. I am running Cross Country and Track at school, hoping it will help increase my endurance and strength, so that I can improve at the races. I also hope to go to a few more big races like Mini-O's or Branson. I will also continue to practice and work hard to improve my speed and skills, especially cornering and jumping.
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE: I will continue to race as long as my parents can afford it! I am going to try my best to make it into the top 10 at Loretta Lynn's. I plan on keeping my grades up (or my dad and mom will not let me race)! I intend to excel as a female racer and encourage other girls to get into the sport of motocross.
