“The opportunity to represent an entire sport to the not only Katy but the whole city of Houston is truly amazing, and a dream come true,” says Katy’s own Ty Hymel. “I’ve been so thankful and so blessed to be invited to this event four times now and every time I still can’t believe that I’m in the presence of such amazing athletes.” Hymel is set for his next race this Saturday after the event.
