RMU Short Track Speedskaters Finish Strongly at American Cup 1 Meet

Cole and John-Henry Krueger finished 12th and 10th respectively last weekend in Saratoga Springs New York. The American Cup A division is the highest level of short track speedskating (you know the kind that Apolo Ohno does). The Olympic Team is picked from skaters in that division. Both RMU skaters aquired enough points to skate the 1500m super final semis and Cole skated the fastest 1000m time of any skater the entire weekend. Both skaters are hoping to make the top 16 this year at Nationals. “This finish”, said Heidi Krueger, RMU Speedskating Club Director, “Will give them a good start towards that goal. They got alot of points coming out of this meet”.

RMU students are invited to come and learn how to speedskate at RMU’s Island Sports Center. The Speedskating Club practices every morning, Monday through Friday.
