A chat with the MiSCA 2023 State Varsity Champ, Katja Opfer

Don't let her age fool you. This 15 year old knows what she wants — your spot on the podium — and she'll put in the work to get it. Katja Opfer discusses her love for MTB, racing, and competition. She comes from a family with a life-long love of cycling, setting her up with an early exposure to racing MTB. From the age of 10, her involvement led to a place of high competition and first hand exposure to some of her MTB heroes on the trails. We discuss her experience with Michigan Scholastic Cycling Association (MiSCA) and later with Team Athletic Mentors Junior Development (TAMJD). Katja nerds out about seeing some of the women MTB legends that she's come across while we recognize that she's well on her way to legend status herself. A talented, driven, and warm-spirited, up and coming individual you’ll want to follow as she heads into a promising future of pro MTB and GRVL racing.
