This year Wheaties, one of the most
iconic cereal boxes, announced that they will be featuring their first ever
Motocross athlete on the front of the box. This special athlete is Ryan Dungey
who is currently coming of a spectacular 2015 season, winning both the
Supercross and Motocross title. This local athlete was born and raised in
Minnesota and surrounded by racing his entire life. Dungey first turned pro in
2006 and shortly after at the young age of 21 had achieved every title this
sport had to offer. Still young with much room to grow he would prove again
this past year that he is one of the top athletes in the sport. Wheaties
decided that Dungey would be the perfect athlete to feature on this box that
will be distributed nationwide. Dungey was quoted saying, “It’s definitely a
very exciting moment, getting to be on the Wheaties box. I can’t tell you how
many times my brother and I sat there joking about, you know, one day that’s going
to be me on the box,” says Dungey. “To be the first Motocross racer on the box
is definitely an amazing moment. I think it’s huge for all of us, so I’m very,
very thankful.” Dungey gives many young athletes the ambition they need to
chase their dreams as even professional athletes such as Ryan never imagined
they could achieve the things he has. The hard work and determination has paid
off, Congratulations Ryan Dungey! Keep a look out for the limited addition
Wheaties box.
