Kelly Worrell
Cycling
Hello! My name is Kelly, and I am a USAT Elite Paratriathlete (PT4) and LA 2028 Paralympic hopeful in Paracycling. I was born with a congenital limb difference of my right arm, but this difference has never stopped me. The truth is, it has blessed me with fierce determination when faced with obstacles and taught me that with a strong will and a little creativity anything is possible. I have been competing for TEAM USA in National and International level races since 2018 where I have been fortunate to stand on the podium multiple times earning medals for the USA. I am a USAT Level 1 Coach, USAT Level 1 Paratriathlon Coach and extremely passionate about sharing my love for adaptive sports to others within my community through my work and mentorship.
