Wisconsin Olympians set inspiring examples

The athletes who represent Wisconsin on this year’s U.S. Winter Olympics team are remarkable men and women whose dedication to achieve their dreams should inspire us all.
The Olympic team officially lists 10 competitors from Wisconsin. They include speedskaters Casey FitzRandolph of Verona, a gold medalist in 2002, and Tucker Fredricks of Janesville as well as curler Maureen Brunt, a native of Portage, and former UW-Madison hockey player Molly Engstrom of Siren. Other Olympians have Wisconsin connections, including ski jumper Clint Jones, a Monroe native, and former UW hockey players Chris Chelios and Brian Rafalski.
