USU Eastern Athletics

Erin Astin, a freshman from Herriman, Utah, brings a strong competitive background and a passion for mountain biking to the USU Eastern mountain biking program. She has raced cross-country mountain biking since seventh grade and competed in the varsity category during her junior and senior years of high school. She also earned first-place finishes in two enduro races.

Astin is the daughter of Joe and Annette Astin and has four brothers, three older and one younger. Mountain biking is a family tradition, with everyone in her family riding and competing in NICA, a Utah high school mountain biking league. Her two oldest brothers attend Utah State University in Logan, where they are both studying mechanical engineering.

Outside of mountain biking, Astin enjoys playing guitar, oil painting, reading and watching movies. She also has a passion for photography, particularly nature photography. She looks forward to continuing her mountain biking career at USU Eastern while pursuing her academic and creative interests.
