Summer has plenty of experience and won a 2012 gold medal in the youth Olympic games in the team relay. She also has World Championship experience, competing from 2015-2017. Most impressively, she has 5 individual career victories and is the all-time leader in USA luge singles’ history. Our bet is that she’ll get another victory and possibly a medal in Pyongyang!

This is the 2nd Olympic games for Jason. He will compete in the luge doubles along with teammate Matt Mortensen. He looks to improve on his 6th place finish in the team relay in Sochi.

This is the first Olympic team selection for the 5’10 defender who holds the record for most games played at the University of Vermont (148).
