Jennifer begins her sixth season as our Secretary. She does much more behind the scenes then just secretarial tasks.

Desiree is starting her first year as our clerk. She knows that she will represent the personality of our track and we think everyone will be pleased. She has been around the sport for 3 years. She says her two BMX'ers have learned Sportsmanship, Determination, teamwork and pride. We feel that these have rubbed off on her as well. We are excited to have her on board.
CATHERINE BIELLO
TREASURER
Catherine has been involved with BMX since 2010. Now in her seventh year as our Treasurer. She has been the personality of the track on race days. She hands the Clerking reigns to Desiree as she has stepped down as Clerk after last season. She leaves very big shoes to fill but, thankfully, she will continue as our Treasurer.
