USU Eastern Athletics

James Lewis, a sophomore from Orem, Utah, brings a strong competitive background and a passion for mountain biking to the USU Eastern mountain biking program. During high school, he primarily competed in cross-country racing through NICA, participating in regional and state-level events while developing strong endurance and technical riding skills. He has also competed in endurance events, including the Sea Otter XL.

Lewis is the son of Libby and Rich Lewis and is one of five children. He has a twin brother, and his family has been an important part of his athletic journey.

Outside of mountain biking, Lewis enjoys racing, working out, spending time outdoors and being around friends. He is currently studying at USU Eastern and is interested in pursuing a doctorate in physical therapy or further study focused on infectious diseases. He looks forward to continuing to develop as an athlete while preparing for a future career in health care.
