SW Grad Jamie Cheever - 2016 Olympic Hopeful!
Jamie
Cheever played five sports (soccer, track CC, hockey and Nordic) at SW, earning
All-State honors in three! She was a three sport (soccer, track, CC) star for
the University of Minnesota, earning All-American honors in track and CC. Now,
Jamie has run a qualifying time for the 2016 Olympics in the steeplechase. She
is training full-time in her quest to represent the U.S.A. in the 2016
Olympics, to be held in Rio de Janeiro.
To do that, and to maximize her
chances, she has had to quit her jobs to focus on her full time training
regimen. She, like so many athletes striving for the Olympics, is fundraising
to help make ends meet.
The
whole SW community is cheering her on! How exciting would that be for the
school and SW Minneapolis to have Jamie run in Rio! You can help Jamie achieve
her dream by visiting her site:
Run,
Jamie, run!
