Strong Montana representation on U.S. freestyle mogul team

I love stories like this! Montanans rule!! The Great Falls Tribune and Associated Press put out a story about all the Montanans on the US Freestyle Mogul team. The top female and male athletes, head coach and head athletic trainer are all from the treasure state.

I worked at the Great Falls Tribune during the last winter Olympics in Turin and was assigned a story to track down as many former winter Olympians from Montana as possible. I interviewed them about their Olympic experiences and the feelings they get every four years during the world games. It was so cool to talk to all these supreme athletes and know they were from MT.

Their head coach is Scott Rawles, left, who was born in Libby and now lives in Breckenridge, Colo. The head athletic trainer is Justin Hunt, right, who is from Troy (PHOTO COURTESY OF KRISTIE E.
