I’m Harley Deters, a 15-year-old sophomore from Park City, Utah, and a multi-sport athlete with a true passion and focus on mountain biking. I grew up riding with my family and exploring the world on two wheels, from the Alps to the Peloponnese in Greece, which taught me grit and perseverance. Riding is more than a sport to me; it’s a lifestyle that drives me to keep growing on and off the bike. Racing NICA has taken that passion even further, earning podiums and fueling my love for competition. When I’m not on my bike, I’m surfing or training for the next challenge.

I am  a 15-year-old mountain biker with a passion for pushing limits on two wheels. When not on the trails, you can find me studying for my next test or dreaming about the next race. Fueled by a competitive drive and a love for pushing the limits, I am  focused on progressing skills, building endurance, and climbing the ranks. 

Hi, my name is Katharine Snavely. I love biking and bike racing because it gives me an opportunity to challenge myself. Whether it be at a race, or on a day that I don’t necessarily feel like going out for a ride, I am able to push myself mentally and physically. Also, biking has given me an opportunity to make new friends and get to know people that I may not have known otherwise. I also love the ability to spend time outside when I am biking, and see places that many people may not be able to get to. 

I’m a rider who loves mountain biking and hitting the trail fast. Biking is my thing, and I’m always pushing myself to get better. I’ve placed second twice in NICA races, and I’m aiming even higher. When I’m on my bike, that’s when I feel the most alive.

I am 13 years old, I love to mountain bike. I have been biking everywhere from St George to Illinois and Whislter Canada. I'd like to push myself harder and become the best biker I possibly can be.

Hudson is a bike and ski racer first with a love for speed, adventure, and the outdoors. When he’s not carving down the slopes or racing through trails, you can find him on the lacrosse field or out surfing. He loves traveling the world with his bike, always on the lookout for new spots to ride, explore, and push his limits. His favorite riding spots are his hometown Park City, UT with the Dolomites in Italy and Nosara Costa Rica a close second and third.

Hi, my name is Matthew Snavely. I love mountain biking and skiing because I am lucky enough to have the opportunity to go outside and have fun with my friends and family. I also love mountain bike racing because it gives me a chance to push myself to the limit while still having fun.

I am a 13-year old mountain biker and freestyle mogul skier. I have a passion for the mountains and love to push myself to achieve success in both sports. I have been biking the trails of Utah and Colorado for as long as I can remember.  Now I can often be found on long trail rides in my hometown of Park City, Utah.  I have already achieved multiple podium finishes in NICA devo races and hope to progress as I start high school races in the fall.  I look forward to new challenges and lots of fun along the way.

I love racing mountain bikes and pedaling the trails in Park City with my friends! When the snow flies, xc ski racing is on! I’ve been riding bikes since I was 2.

My name is Blake, and I love speed! I was clocked on skis at 76mph, training for Super G, and I look forward to finding speed on two wheels.  

Hi, I'm Miles. Going fast and pushing my limits is really fun—whether it’s racing mtb or grinding it out on xc skis. There’s nothing better than being outdoors, getting stronger, pushing past what seems possible and getting to do it with my friends.

I'm Ryder, and I  enjoy racing active sports, including cross country, mountain biking, cyclocross, and cross country skiing. He also loves playing his trumpet in his school's elite concert band and elite jazz band. 

Hi, I am Mira Smeyak from Park City, Utah.  I enjoy competing in mountain biking, nordic skiing, and lacrosse. The 2025 season was my first season competing in mountain biking and I raced primarily in the regional NICA series.  When not on the bike or skis, I spend time training my 1.5 year old Vizsla, Aspen, and hiking and camping with my family.

I’m a 13-year-old XC racer on the Altus Racing team, and honestly, I just love being on my bike. My favorite thing is finding new places to ride and seeing how far I can push myself. I’ve raced all over Utah, grabbed a podium in my first-ever mountain bike race, and picked up a bunch more in my first year of competitive racing. To keep my cycling fitness up over the winter, I’ve taken up Nordic combined. This summer I rode over 2,000 miles, and my goal is to double that in the upcoming season. Riding with my friends and chasing the next challenge is what I live for.

My name is Addi Huser from Park City, UT. I enjoy mountain biking, hockey, skiing, family and friends. I love being out in the mountains with my friends and family exploring all there is to see. I'm looking forward to racing the national circuit this year!
