Incredible week at CX Nationals. Finally won my first national title in the collegiate race after so many tries at it. Helped @cmucycling grab another relay and omnium title. Then, capped it all off with a bittersweet U23 race where some mechanicals at the start made it a little extra challenging but rallying back to 🥈 was maybe some of the most fun I’ve had racing in a while especially with so many friends, coaches, and family cheering. It was definitely an unforgettable one!
Can’t give enough thanks to the entire @cmucycling staff for everything they do, we’re not always easy on them but weeks like this hopefully make it all worth it.

20th at Worlds
Such an electric race on an epic course. Moved up as best I could early and was in the battle for top-15 in the last lap but made a small mistake that just barely cost me. In the end I’m super proud of this ride and so grateful for the opportunities that @usacycling has given me as a U23. Looking forward to another chance next weekend in Lenzerhiede but going to let this one soak in for a few days🙃

4 years really snuck up on me
Quick rip out to Wisconsin this weekend for some bike racing, back for finals, then schools out forever 🥲

I’ve been: enjoying landscapes, loving my new @iamspecialized epic, torque interavling, consuming copious amounts of @firstendurance fuel, and getting HUGE in the gym.
Jokes aside it’s been a bit of a slow start to the year with some sickness and a nagging knee injury but I’ve been enjoying getting back into the routine with training and school these last few weeks!!
Don’t really have the words to wrap up this week at CX Nationals let alone this season. However, defending my collegiate title and then riding into 2nd in the elite race with some of my best friends on the sidelines cheering was unforgettable. I can’t give enough credit and appreciation to @cmucycling for being there for me all of these years and for helping turn this mountain biker into a little more of a cross racer each year. The energy and support this team brings is special and I’ve been lucky to be a part of it 🫶

🥇Cross Country
🥇Short Track
🥇Team Relay
Ending my time in collegiate MTB in the best way possible. Feels so good to grab 3 jerseys for @cmucycling at our home nationals, especially after how much collegiate racing has given me these last 4 seasons. I’m going to miss all of the coaches, friends, teammates, and good times next year but this was for sure the absolute best way to end it 💛❤️
