Tayler Wiles

Growing up as an avid soccer player, Tayler had always dreamt of competing in a World Cup. Her World Cup dreams have come true, however instead of kicking a ball she is pedaling a bike. Tayler began cycling nearly three years ago when a friend and accomplished paracylist Matt Bradley persuaded her to get a bike. She entered her first race in August of 2008 and never looked back. In her first season racing professionally she took 3rd during the second stage of Tour of the Gila and helped the team to many victories and podiums throughout the year. Her major accomplishment in 2011 was winning the U23 National Time Trial Championships in Augusta Georgia. She also had a successful season racing with the US National team, riding in support of the winning squad during the Giro di Toscana stage race in Italy. Along with being a professional cyclist Tayler is also a student at the University of Utah where she is double majoring in Biology and Kinesiology.
