Recent North Buncombe graduate Paige Shook is one of the newest recruits for the Mars Hill cycling program.

Shook was introduced to the sport by Black Hawks cross country/track coach Dean Duncan.

More from the Lions:

Paige Shook, also from Weaverville, NC, was introduced to cycling by her distance running coach, Dean Duncan, at North Buncombe High when she suffered an injury. A competitive runner for a number of years, Paige comes to cycling with an endurance background that positions her for a bright future with the team. She is driven to compete at the highest level possible and looks forward to racing multiple disciplines with a focus on road and cyclocross. Following a training regimen that would put many cycling pros to shame, we’re very excited to help Paige reach her cycling potential. Welcome to the team, Paige!
