U.S. Women’s Team Olympic XC Ski History – HELP WANTED

by Matt Whitcomb

November 15, 2014 – Hello Ski Friends, The U.S. Women’s Cross Country Ski Team needs your help with a project that celebrates women’s Olympic skiing history in our country. If you are on the list below it likely means you were an Olympic ski coach, or at some point, were a female Olympic cross-country skier for the U.S.

The current U.S. Ski Team (Sadie Bjornsen-WA/AK, Sophie Caldwell-VT, Jessie Diggins-MN/VT, Kikkan Randall-AK, Ida Sargent-VT, and Liz Stephen-VT/UT) are beginning to compile both written and photographical history that documents your Olympic years as a coach or athlete – from 1972-2014.

One of the athletes on the 2014-15 U.S. Ski Team will reach out to you this winter from Europe to chat on the phone and to ultimately ask you to dive into your skiing tales.

Before we can get going, we need to complete our contact list. We are still struggling with a few pieces. Please reply to only me with the information. Also, please send me any updates on how the last names should be listed. Below you’ll find what still needs sleuthing.

The goal of this project is to turn this list of 46 athletes back into a team. Thank you for your help in making it happen.

    Hey everyone—this a great step forward in remembering our past and how we got to this great period of results. That we all are enjoying and having a real chance to feel a part of building this happening of history—we done want to lose this chance.
    So do all you can in getting this information together for Matt and the ladies.
    Marty
