It's definitely deeper; you
even feel it, too. I mean, there's
pressure each round, so you
feel the competition is getting
stiffer. You can't really make a
mistake. There's always going
to be someone behind you, and
I know next year we're going
to have a couple other people
sign up, and there's a couple
other girls that are moving up
to big bikes, so I feel like next
year will be even better for
women in motocross, and it
should be a good year.
What are your plans for
next year?
I plan on doing both again.
Yeah, the plan is to do both but
definitely have it as a personal
goal for the WMX Champion

I ended up going down, so it
just kind of created this en-
tertainment for everyone, and
then Peacock wanted us back
because we had such a great
turnout for them. Now there's
such a high demand to watch
us race, and I feel like that's re

ally special. I've always been an
advocate for women in sports,
in all areas, which is happen-

off obviously with basketball
and Caitlin Clark, and you just
kind of see it roll down into

If there's one thing I've learned
this year, it's that experiencing
being a pro and traveling every
weekend to races is a new chal

have a bad race, you just got
to forget about it and move on.
So, there's been a lot of learning
this year, and I'm excited to plan
better and develop a stronger
strategy for the next season.
You finished third in the

It was close between all of
us because we had the drop-
moto scores, so if we dropped
our scores, we were all kind of
within each other. It was really
down to Lachlan [Turner] and
Charli [Cannon]. I just kind of
struggled with just getting that
sprint speed that they have, so
that's, yeah, another thing I'm
going to be working on. Lachlan,
she killed it all this season.
Do you feel the attention
for WMX has grown the past
couple of years?
We had some increase. After
we'd been on Peacock the first
time at Thunder Valley, when
we were having battles, first and
