Felicia Stancil named National BMX Hall of Fame Scholarship recipient 

(Gilbert, AZ): The Hall of Fame Board of Directors have chosen 19-year-old Felicia Stancil - from Lake Villa, Illinois as the 2014 National BMX Hall of Fame Scholarship recipient. Stancil is sponsored by GT Bicycles and is pursuing an undergraduate degree with Marian University. She is majoring in Exercise Science with a minor in business. “I hope to get my doctorate degree in Physical Therapy,” she tells the Hall of Fame, “after my undergraduate ...and my BMX career.”

The National BMX Hall of Fame Scholarship committee annually awards funds to a collegiate BMX rider who exemplifies true professionalism, possesses solid potential for a future National No.1 Championship, as well as Olympic Team qualification and medal potential.

As a sign of the times - like so many riders today, Felicia is a 2nd-generation BMX racer. Her father Jamie was a top regional rider from the Midwest and introduced his daughter to racing right before her 5th birthday.

There’s no question that the 14-time World Champion and reigning Jr. Women World Champion will be a favorite for a spot on the 2016 U.S. Olympic team for the Rio games and Tokyo in 2020. But don’t call her an Olympian quite yet. “(I’m) not a fan when people say “future Olympian.” Unless you’ve made the team, you’re either an Olympian already or a Olympic hopeful.” she recently tweeted from The Netherlands - where she is about to participate in the 2014 BMX World Championships.

USA BMX and the National BMX Hall of Fame will present Stancil with a Scholarship check during the 2014 BMX Hall of Fame ceremony - held on Saturday night, September 27th, at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, CA. Tickets are available at:https://2014bmxhof.eventbrite.com
