She is still at it.
16-year old Filipina Coryn Rivera just continues to shine in women’s cycling in Southern California.
Daily Peloton reports Coryn dominating the women’s elite race in the Storm the Beach Cyclocross at Oceanside, the Spooky Cross Night Race in Irvine, and at Hansen Dam in the Dam Cross Weekend.
Coryn had to settle for a fourth place finish on the second day at Dam Cross, but not after battling it out with other elite women riders in the lead pack.

Coryn however jumped right back into her winning ways in the West Coast & Southern California Nevada Cycling Association Cross Championships – SoCal Eco-Sportsfest ‘08. She then left the rest of the field vying for 2nd and 3rd in the Gene Galindo Memorial Turkey Trot Cross Race, hosted by the Pasadena Athletic Association.
Thus the young rider of Team Redline with license number 100 207432 continues to make her team, her Filipino parents and their kababayan in Southern California proud.
And if Philippine cycling and Olympic Committee officials take her up on her dream of representing the country in the Olympics, she can surely carry Filipino pride high in the quadrennial games.

For such a young age to achieve so much already, she will only get better and better.
I agree with you, sports officials in the Philippines, particularly in cycling should give her much needed support and maybe international exposure to make her achieve her maximum potential. Who knows, we may be rewarded in the future with an Olympic medalist.
