Elliana

Elliana Zimmerman, a Kindergartener at HECC, traveled to Tulsa, Oklahoma over Thanksgiving break to compete at Grands -The Greatest Race on Earth. Grands is the final BMX national which helps determine an overall ranking by using a rider's top ten national score combined with the Grands score. Throughout the year, Elliana has raced nationals in Connecticut, Ohio, South Carolina and Kentucky. She placed 4th at Grands, and with that score was able to rank 3rd among girls 5 years old and under. She will now run a number 3 plate with a gray background for the season next year to show that she is National Age Group number three for 2024. Elliana is the daughter of Alexis Petrosky & Thomas Zimmerman and sister of Braxton Zimmerman, 3rd grade. 

Congratulations, Elliana! We are proud of you!
