| How They Got Here | ||||
| Christian rode his mountain bike to school with friends, and one day they decided to race. All his friends beat him and so he trained during the winter and came back the next year as the fastest. He switched to road racing, won his first race, and hasn’t stopped since. His coach, Mike Fraysse, pointed him in the direction of the track, and after winning a few medals at Junior Nationals, he stayed on the track. | ||||
