Olympian!

Once again, Kaitlynn Miller '14 has made Bowdoin Nordic history - today she was named to the 2018 Olympic Team!  We are all so excited and proud - such a great accomplishment and a well-deserved honor.  She is the 7th Olympian in Bowdoin's history.  It's so incredible to see this happening right before our eyes for someone we know and love.  Right now I'm thinking of all the four years Kaitlynn spent in our program, and all the hard work and perseverance that she put into her ski career and her schoolwork.  Great athletes make it look easy, but I was right there, and I can tell you that there was nothing easy about it - there was plenty of struggle and plenty of lows to go with the highs.  Kaitlynn handled success and failure with grace and humility, and she never lost sight of the joy of this amazing sport.  She couldn't be more deserving, and I couldn't be more proud of her.  Can't wait to see what happens next!
