Thanks for the support
I think this is a good time to publicly thank everyone who has been supportive of me over the past five years in all my biathlon and skiing endeavors. I want to especially thank my parents, grandparents, sisters, and coaches (i.e. Bill Meyer, Nisswa NW Biathlon), who have been “over-the-top” supportive mentally, physically, and financially. Thank you to the huge community of people in the Brainerd lakes area who have been following my competitions in the area newspaper, for all your positive comments and words of inspiration. Also, thank you to my huge community of friends who were able to follow my “newspaper” stardom online and through facebook. My continuing sports career as a biathlete would never have been imaginable without all the love, care, and support from so many people. Your actions and words will never be forgotten. As I head to my last major race series of the season in West Yellowstone over Spring Break, I will be continuing to remember all the people in my life who have made this whole “dream” possible.
