BMS Student Wins State and ATVMX Championships
Coy Jackson, 11, who will enter 6th grade at Barnesville Middle School next week, was crowned Ohio and National ATVMX champion last weekend at Briercliff MX at Nashport, Ohio.
Jackson has been racing since the age of five alongside his older brother, Cash, two time National Champion, who will be a freshman at Barnesville High School this year.
The brothers travel the country visiting multiple states to compete in the sport of quad motocross racing accompanied by their parents, Ty and Chelsey Jackson.
“Out of 16 motos this season on his 70 Shifter JB Mod, Coy won 14 motos and pulled the holeshot in 10 of those races,” mother Chelsey said.
Jackson is a National Youth Athlete Contestant

In addition to winning the championships, Coy is up for the National Youth Athlete of the Year, who will be featured in a 3BRAND ad in Sports Illustrated and take home $25,000.
Coy is currently Number 3 in his age group consisting of over 60 candidates. Supporters may vote once every 24 hours through 10 p.m. (7 p.m. Pacific DST) this Thursday. Vote for Coy here.
