Points of Interest/Personal

• Matt first took to track cycling at 6 years old with the Air Products development programs at the Valley Preferred Cycling Center.
• In 2010, Matt won both the junior 17-18 and elite men’s keirin national championships. At 17 years old, he became the youngest male to ever win an American elite track national championship.
• Matt writes “Believe” on his handlebars at events, tapping it just before he races to help focus and to remind him that, “if I believe in myself, I can do anything”.
• Matt is studying electrical engineering at the Penn State University Schreyer Honors College and will graduate in December.
• His dad is his full time coach. They do the majority of my training on a track bike on a backroad near Matt’s house with a motorcycle and not on a track.
