Career

[edit | edit source]

Batten won national titles as a junior and another at the U23 level. She won a U23 World Cup, and was part of the USA team relay at the 2019 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships where they earned a silver medal in Mont-Sainte-Anne, Canada.[1] Batten rode for the Clif Pro Team from 2016 to 2019, Trinity Racing from 2019 to 2021, and Specialized Factory Racing from 2022 to present. Batten rode to a third-place finish at her first elite World Cup XCO race in Albstadt, Germany.[2] On Friday 14 May 2021 Batten won the short-track cross-country MTB World Cup race in the Czech Republic.[3][4] She followed this up finishing in 2nd place at the Nové Město XCO World Cup race punching her ticket to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics as the finish met USA Cycling’s automatic criteria for making the team.[5][6]

During the first World Cups of 2024 in Brazil, Batten won a bronze in Maripora XCO and the following weekend in Araxa she was 1st in the XCC and XCO.[7] These podiums in Brazil put Batten into both XCC and XCO leader jerseys. During the 3rd World Cup in Nove Mesto Na Morave she placed 3rd in the XCC and 2nd in the XCO. She would continue on to the 4th World Cup at Val d' Sole ranked 1st in XCO.

Batten's results in Brazil qualified her for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Competing at the Games, she won the silver medal, the United States' first in mountain biking.[8][9]
