We have some exciting news to share! Back in May 2023, Stephanie took part in USA Luge’s Slider Search event—a nationwide talent scouting program aimed at finding future stars in the sport. The Slider Search is where many top athletes get their start, and it’s all about testing balance, speed, and the determination to learn what it takes to excel in luge.
After months of waiting, we finally have the results—and it’s incredible! Stephanie was selected to attend a screening camp in Lake Placid, NY! This camp is a big deal because it’s the first time athletes get to experience what it’s like to slide on actual ice. Up until now, the training has been on wheeled sleds, but now Stephanie will face the real challenge: navigating the ice track at high speeds.
The camp will be a blend of skill-building, practice runs, and lots of learning from experienced coaches. It’s an incredible opportunity for Stephanie to take her first steps toward her dream of representing Team USA in the Olympics.
Thank you to everyone who has supported Stephanie on this journey so far. Your encouragement and belief in her have played a huge role in getting her to this point. We’ll be sure to keep you all updated on her progress and experiences in Lake Placid!
Stay tuned for more exciting updates—and don’t forget to keep cheering #StephanieSlides as she continues chasing her Olympic dream!
