Meet the Athlete

With Keegan’s race experience, it’s easy to forget he’s just 26 years old. He’s already raced for a pro team in Europe, been named to an Olympic long team, and has over a decade of race experience to his name. He’s even a dad (his kid is a furry two-year-old chocolate lab named Wally).

Keegan won his first elite National Championship XC title this season, and finished Top-20 at the Vallnord World Cup. He’s become the rider to beat at any domestic race and he can climb with the world’s best. Keegan has a work ethic well beyond his years and he keeps his followers on IG entertained with a recurring cast of characters in his life at home and on the road.

When off-the-bike, Keegan enjoys camping, riding motos, and exploring the Wasatch Mountains with his partner Sofia near his home in Heber City, Utah.

What are your pre-race rituals?

For me I always like to have my pre race pancakes and always have my pre race music to help me in the right head space to race.

What is your favorite post-ride snack/meal?

Hard to beat a good breakfast burrito after a hard day of training!

What is your favorite quote or piece of advice to live by?

Sounds a bit callous but "nobody cares, work harder" is my favorite quote. For me it basically it just means that there are no excuses or no replacement for hard work. I think that really applies to anything that you want in life, work, sports or otherwise.
