WSS Students and Alums Honored By YWSA
The Youth WinterSports Alliance (YWSA) was established to create a legacy to the 2002 Winter Olympic Games by spearheading a community-wide effort to increase the number of children who actively participate in winter sport programs from the greater Park City area, as well as Summit and Wasatch Counties.
Each year, the YWSA Circle of Excellence honors junior athletes from the Park City community who have attained noteworthy accomplishments in their respective sports, ranging from making the U.S. National team to winning major elite competitions. In 2009, several WSS alums and active students were honored at the Circle of Excellence ceremony hosted by Ted Ligety, WSS Class of 2002. They are:
Kieran Adams ‘11, Alpine Ski Racing
Avery Ardovino ‘09, Nordic Ski Jumping
Brandon Booth ‘09, Alpine Snowboard Racing
Chris Cammarano ‘08, Freestyle Skiing - Moguls
Anders Johnson ‘06, Nordic Ski Jumping
Annie Serra ‘06, Freestyle Skiing - Moguls
JJ Tomlinson ‘10, Snowboard Cross
Many congratulations to our proud honorees, and many, many thanks to YWSA for performing such an admirable mission and for taking the time and effort to honor our communitee’s brightest athletic stars.
