History

Tracy Vanberchum was a fighter in Solaris VII for the Sun Runners Stables during the Dark Age.[1]

She did participate in the 3086 Championship.[2]

For week five, she was matched against Rick Dekker. The match was literally explosive, and after several good exchanges of weapons fire an ammo explosion late in the match ripped apart Vanberchum's Marauder and put her in the hospital with minor injuries.[2]

During the sixth week she was paired against Wyman Mateo. She was piloting a Flashman-7K for that match. Mateo tried staying away from Vanberchum, using his Paladin's Mydron Tornado autocannon to chip away the Flashman's armor. Despite being peppered, the Flashman held up well and began dealing damage in return. After ten minutes of non-stop fighting, Mateo was out of ammo and low on armor. He tried staying away from Vanberchum, but she finally crippling the Paladin and won the match.[1]

Once she started to pilot the Flashman, she was on fire.[3] / Prior to week eleventh, the Class Four division was very tight, with new leaders almost weekly. David Santos was the first at that time, with Lee Lumley one point behind, and being third Tracy Vanberchum one point behind Lumley.[4]

On week eleventh she was again paired against Wyman Mateo, and was able to quickly win again the match.[4]

With the victory, she was able to get a climb to the first place of the Class Four Division, with David Santos and Lee Lumley behind.[4]

At the end of Week 12, in mid season, Tracy Vanberchum, was leading the Class Four Division with David Santos two points behind, and Natalia Burns and Lee Lumley three points behind Tracy.[3]

With Six weeks to go in the BBL the race in the Class Four Division was still open. Tracy Vanberchum had a five-point lead over David Sanada, with David Santos in third and with Natalia Burns lurking in fourth.[5]

Her rival for week seventeenth was Kroner Kings Stables' captain Lee Lumley. The two veterans showed why they are among the most respected fighters in the league. Both wove through the Deep, trading shots kept the audience on their feet. While both lost armor, neither could find that winning shot and the match ended up in a tie.[5]

After the match Tracy Vanberchum was still leading, but both Sanada and Burns were closing in.[5]
