The Winter Sports School’s Cam Chin ’97 was recently named head conditioning coach for the Russian Women’s Olympic Team! He is one of a very select group of American coaches to be hired by a European team – generally, it works the other way around with Americans hiring Europeans to run our national ski programs. The lack of Russian success in Vancouver led to a major turnover in their sport federation staffing. This is a tremendous opportunity for Chin as the next Olympic Games will be held in Russia.
Chin attended UNH after WSS, and graduated with a degree in fine arts. He then returned to Park City and worked at WSS as our art teacher and coached the Park City ski team in the winter. Three years ago, Chin took over the role of director of conditioning for the Winter Sports School and did a phenomenal job managing the program.
We’re honored and proud to have played a part in developing Chin’s conditioning coaching experience, and wish him all the best in the future. We will miss you, Cam!
WSS congratulates Steven Nagie ‘09 and Sam Dupratt ‘11 for their recent outstanding academic recognitions! Nagie was awarded a National Merit Scholarship from Southwest Airlines to support his studies in aviation at Westminster College (which also awarded him a full scholarship). Sam Dupratt won an Energy Solutions Foundation Scholarship, a merit-based scholarship for high school sophomores planning to pursue degrees in math, science, or engineering.
It’s great to see academics-only students like Steven achieve such a high level of academic success here at WSS. At the same time, our elite student athletes like Sam, are successful in their individual sports and in the classroom. Athlete or not, our students receive a first-class college preparatory education and the flexibility they need to achieve their best academically and athletically.
Nagie was up against more than 1.5 million juniors in over 22,000 high schools in the 2010 National Merit Scholarship competition. Winners are judged to have the strongest combination of academic skills and achievements, extracurricular accomplishments, and potential for success in rigorous college studies. Nagie is the first student in the history the Winter Sports School to reach this level of recognition.
Dupratt’s scholarship is applicable to his tuition at WSS. The Energy Solutions Foundation Scholarship awarded him $2,000, with the opportunity to qualify for an additional distinguished award of $2,500, $5,000 or $25,000. Sam will be recognized at a banquet later this spring in Salt Lake City.
