Widefield of Dreams - Mariah Boudrieau
She goes by "Froggy 17" on the weekends but at school she is known as Mariah Boudrieau. Mariah is a sophomore at Widefield High School and is our first "Widefield of Dreams" student for the 2016-2017 school year. Besides being a stellar student, Mariah is a superstar on the racetrack. Mariah has been racing cars since she was 11-years-old. Currently she races a green hornet car, which is a 4-cylinder stock car with a roll cage. She started out racing quarter midgets, similar to a go-cart, and won two track championships. Now she has her eye on "Rookie of the Year" for hornet racing which includes a scholarship to the University of Ohio. Mariah is the youngest racer in her class, ages 14 and up, and is ranked number 4 out of 27 racers in the Pikes Peak region. Mariah's dream is to race for Nascar one day. You go girl!
