- Story
As a former NCAA Cross Country All-American living in Northern Minnesota I was struggling to train through the oppressive winter conditions. My first forays on Atlas Snowshoes almost 20 years ago provided the respite from the roads that I needed. Since then, snowshoe racing has taken over road, track, and even trail running as my favorite athletic pursuit.
I’ve been around long enough to see the evolution of snowshoe racing in the United States and have been fortunate to be a 2 time USSSA National Snowshoe Racing Champion, 3 Time USSSA National Team Member, and World Master’s Snowshoe Racing Champion.
- Accomplishments
- 2006 and 2007 USSSA National Snowshoe Racing Champion
- 2-time USSSA National Team Member
- 4-time North Central Region Champion
- NCAA Cross Country All-American
- Dora-the-Explorer guru (by necessity)
- Season Goals
- The USSSA National Championships are in my backyard this year, and with the advent of a USSSA National Masters’ Team, I am focused on the big race in March 2015 in Eau Claire, WI. Maybe I’ll even give some of the young studs a scare.
