Oliver is currently the youngest member of the Crank Works Race team but that doesn't stop this young athlete from completely slaying on the trail! Oliver dominated both Florida short course series, the Florida State Championship Series and the Florida Coconut Cup, this past year taking 1st place podiums in almost every race where he entered his own class. He also raced the next class up for an extra challenge and his Specialized Epic Hardtail landed him on the podium in that class too! He's moving up a class in fall 2025.
