Participating in her 27th USA BMX Grand Nationals held every year over Thanksgiving, Willoughby won her 12th National Pro Title on Friday evening with her husband and coach, Sam Willoughby, beside her. Winning her first Pro Title in 2006 when she was 15, and now at 33 years old, Willoughby is the winningest BMX Racer in USA BMX history and the youngest and oldest win pro titles.
"Every year presents its opportunities and challenges, so each title and season has its chapter in my mind," Willoughby said about this year's title. "The 2024 USA BMX series title means a lot to me to achieve while wearing the world champion's jersey again; it's just the perfect way to cap off what's been a pretty successful season overall and end it on a high note. I've worked hard over the years to continuously elevate my racing to stay consistent in our 'young person's game,' so it's gratifying to use all those tools and experiences to meet the occasion and stay consistent over the course of my career. From being the youngest to now being the oldest professional woman to win the USA BMX Series Championship, I love challenging the status quo. I am thankful for all 12 of my USA BMX women's pro championship titles and the lessons each season has taught me along the way. Excited to see what we can do next year!"
