Meet the Athletes
I was born in Kenosha, Wisconsin. I became a Physical Education teacher and Gymnastics coach in my home state. I married and moved with my family to South Africa and now Canada. I have always tried to stay active, playing in competitive Racquetball and Golf leagues. My husband brought me back into competitive Track and Field, where I decided to take up Throwing. We enjoy coaching each other along with our Throwing coach, Ryan Whiting down in Arizona with Desert High Performance. I am very grateful for the positive coaching we have also been receiving from other Masters athletes.
