At Midwest NXT, we aim to empower rising cyclocross athletes from THE Midwest Devo program with high-level structure, support, and competitive pathways- preparing them to excel on the national and international stage.

ABOUT MIDWEST NXT

Midwest NXT wasn’t born from a top-down decision, it was sparked by our riders. The drive to build something greater came directly from the kids who’ve grown up through our program. Their desire to stay beyond high school, to keep progressing, and to invest in this community is the main reason we are creating something that could meet their ambition. In many ways, this new team is a tribute to them, the ones who’ve poured their energy, loyalty, and love into Devo and want to keep moving forward, together.
