Goals: Well, I have achieved two of them thusfar (2007). I am the Womens division Champion for the 2006/2007 Toyota Arenacross Series, placed very well at the regionals for the 2007 Loretta Lynn's National where I got 2nd at the North Central Regional in Millville, MN and a solid 6th place at the Mid-East Regional in Millfield, OH among several pro women riders. I have improved from my nagging groin injuries when I again ruptured it early in the season and overcame the aches and pains from the broken arm from last year in AX. All in which I have instill more faith in myself and motivation and dedication to take it to the next level! What more could I ask for! Oh besides going for the Win at the Us Open in October and a getting Top 10 at Loretta Lynn's.
I cant forget to add that I faired out well for the District 22 series this past year as I won the womens division and placed 3rd overall in the 250B class. I also won the womens division at Hawkeye Downs and placed 2nd in the 250B class as well.
Goal(s) You Would Like To Achieve This Year for 08: Same as I have this year but I would also like to go to Ponca next year now that I know what it entails for getting qualified. One major goal is to work on my cornering and hope to improve my riding skills on all levels.
What is your current employment? I currently work at the Heart of Iowa, which is a recovery center for mothers whom either are pregnant or have children.
Your accomplishments in school / job: I graduated the University of Iowa in the Winter of 2006 where I got a BA in Psychology and a minor in Sociology, Counseling and Human Relations.
Plans: I plan to push it harder in racing and if possible try and do some WMA races. I would also like to go to Graduate school, but I would like to get some more experience in the work field before going back.
Achievements: Many track championships, District 22 overalls, 2006/2007 Toyota Arenacross Series Champion, 3 trips to Lorettas out of 4 qualifications.
Any pro-riding during the winter, if so, with who/where? Just arenacrosses when I can
Any other comments you’d like to make? Never doubt or lose faith in yourself, I started out young and throughout all of the injuries aches and pains, I wouldn't trade MX or my career for anything. It has helped shaped the person I am today, not to mention the thrills and spills, the places and friends I have met along the way is never forgotten! I encourage all riders of all ages to travel and ride new tracks and race people you have never seen or heard of before. Eventually all of the hard work and dedication pays off.
