Vivian Atkins

I am a 10th grader on the Chapel Hill High School team and I have been mountain biking for about 4 years. I got into mountain biking because of my best friend and now I love riding and being a part of this community. When I started biking, GRiT made me feel so much more included and I hope I can help other girls feel just as welcomed. As my Senior GRiT Ambassador project I chose to help take on the role of creating the podcasts with Hadley and Alex so I could spread awareness about the GRiT and mentor programs and build the community while having fun.

Vivian is not only a podcast co-host but its editor as well!

Producer

Chelle Frost

Chelle is Program Director for NCICL, in addition to serving as a Coach Supporter, level 3 coach with Stanly Shredders and a member of the NCICL Board of Directors. Chelle got involved in 2016, when her son became a student athlete. She became a coach when her daughter, Madi, joined in 6th grade the following year. Intimidated by being the only female student athlete on a team of highly experienced riders, Chelle promised Madi if she was brave enough to be bad at something new, she would become a coach to ensure Madi would not be the only female on the team or only member with no prior mountain biking experience. Madi went on the serve at a Senior GRiT Ambassador and one of the founding members of the NC GRiT podcast! Chelle became the league GRiT Coordinator to help Madi find other female riders to build community with and enjoys ensuring all youth feel welcome, valued and celebrated in the league community and are provided meaningful opportunities to grow and lead.
