ABOUT A 2006 Olympian Burke fulfilled his life-long dream by making the USA’s Olympic Biathlon team while winning the Pursuit format and placing second in two other competitions at the TD Banknorth Festival at Fort Kent.

According to Burke, one of the best things to happen to him in 2006 was “leading the Olympic relay” out of the stadium after team mate Jay Hakkinen’s dominating first leg. In 2004 and 2005Burke qualified for the Biathlon World Championships and competed in front of a hometown crowd at 2004 Lake Placid World Cup, finishing 43rd in pursuit.

After training for past three seasons in Fort Kent, Maine, Burke, a leader on the US Biathon team, has relocated and is now based out of Lake Placid, NY as he prepares for the 2008/09 season.
