Coryn Rivera (17 yrs)

Coryn's father, Wally, got her into the sport by riding tandems with him when she was 10. The following year, Coryn began to participate in the kid's races and dominated. She then wanted to start racing on a regular basis. Her first USCF race she placed 2nd among the 10-12 boys and started to cry because she didn't win. She used that as motivation to win her first California State Championships and eventually won 2 Jr National Titles by the end of the year. From then on her racing evolved and has been developing to become a world-class cyclist, winning races for the US National Team in Belgium and winning her first NRC criterium marking her first big domestic victory.
