SAMANTHA MANDELKE
Mandelke has been putting her time in training with Matt Walker to try to breakthrough to the top of her classes. Riding a CRF 250 with help from BWR, Rekluse, Motox Compound, and SSI decals @SMANDELKE63 has a great support system behind her. Daytona Amateur Supercross was a good stepping stone to get her to the next level, where she earned a 4th
in the Woman amateur (12+) class. Training hard isn’t the only thing on the young woman’s mind though. Listing Loyola University of Chicago as her school with a major in pre-med, makes this racer not only fast but smart as well. Juggling school and racing is a very challenging thing to do, with most racers being forced into making a choice of one or the other. Mandelke has chosen to do both, and she is using this summer to show her dedication to the sport she loves.
The #63 is the whole package of racer and student out of Stillman Valley, IL.
