At just 14 years old, Avery Hemmer is doing what most teenagers only dream about — competing at the highest level of snowcross racing and leading the Pro Women points standings.
Growing up in Elk River, Minnesota, Avery was introduced to snowcross through her dad and uncle. At six years old, she climbed on a sled and never looked back.
Now, she’s a six-time champion.
From Little Sleds to Pro Women
Avery began in the 120 Champ class before progressing through junior divisions and racing against boys for most of her career. She recently transitioned into the Pro Women class — racing competitors older and more experienced than her.
Her reward? Red plates for leading the points.
Fitness, Focus & Family
Snowcross is physically demanding. Avery trains three days a week, focusing heavily on cardio and strength.
“You’re basically riding a fridge around the track,” she joked.
Behind the scenes, her family sacrifices time, work, and finances to support her travel-heavy race schedule — flying to events while their semi hauls the sleds.
Racing Against the Boys
For years, Avery raced boys who often didn’t want to get beat by a girl. That experience sharpened her mental toughness.
Today, she encourages girls to:
· Work out
· Be healthy
· Do something different
· Chase a competitive sport
Avery’s story proves that age is just a number — and confidence is built one race at a time.
