While she managed her first ever podium finish, that was good enough for Hannah to bring home fourth overall for the West Coast Motocross series.

She leaves next week to get ready for the East Coast Nationals, which starts in St. Julie, Quebec.

After that it is off to Ontario, New Brunswick, Quebec and then the final round back in Ontario.

Hannah trained all winter at Club 57 in Jacksonville, Florida. 

She also does the Atlantic Motocross Series when she isn’t away at Nationals.
