Lea Davison became a "some to watch" in 2008 when she won both the short track and super D races at Sea Otter. She has been on fire ever since. At the 2008 mtb National Championships in Mt. Snow, Vermont, Lea took third in short track behind Katie Compton and Mary McConneloug who would go on to represent the U.S. in the Beijing Olympics. Lea beat out non other than Georgia Gould to take the last podium spot. It was an impressive showing and one I witnessed first hand. Yes, I was there watching and cheering. It was awesome! It's imposable not to like Lea Davison. If you've ever seen one of her pre or post race interviews, you no doubt have witnessed her enthusiasm and energetic personality. Lea's hero status not only comes from her racing success, but from her social entrepreneurial venture called Little Bellas. The Little Bellas is a mountain bike organization whose goal is to help young women realize their potential through cycling. This is why Lea Davison is a hero.
