Jillian Halm: A Rising Star on the Track and One to Watch at TTown This Summer
Balancing fierce focus with a love for the ride, Jillian Halm is quickly becoming a standout name at the Valley Preferred Cycling Center. Representing Kelly Benefits Strategies Cycling, Jillian enters the 2025 season with momentum, a full race calendar, and big goals on the horizon.
Focused, driven, and passionate about endurance racing, Jillian is gearing up for Junior Track Nationals in July, her biggest goal of the year. But before that, you’ll find her racing the Easton Twilight Criterium, Tour of Somerville, and of course, every Friday and Tuesday night at TTown, where her favorite event is the high-speed thrill of the Madison Cup.
A proud product of the VPCC’s community programs, Jillian discovered her love for cycling right here at the track. Now, she’s finishing her senior year at Freedom High School and preparing to start a new chapter at Lehigh University, where she’ll major in Materials Science and Engineering this fall.
“Setting and reaching my goals keeps me motivated. I’ve learned to push myself outside my comfort zone—that’s where growth happens.”
Jillian loves cold-weather rides, ice cream, and country roads around TTown—but when she’s not training, you might catch her watching Formula 1, hiking with her dogs, or listening to pump-up tracks like “Pump the Brakes” by Dom Dolla and “Unwritten” by Natasha Bedingfield.
Her advice to new riders? “Have fun and don’t take riding too seriously. Enjoy the ride—it’s supposed to be fun.”
Catch Jillian all summer at TTown—she’s fast, fearless, and just getting started.
