Local Earns Spot on National Women’s USA Bobsled Team Woodstock resident Macy Tarlton recently earned a position on the National Women’s Team USA Bobsled team. After completing her training with her teammates at the Olympic Training Facility in Lake Placid, New York, she will begin this 2022-2023 season with a World Cup tour in Canada, Germany, Austria, Latvia, Norway, Switzerland, Utah, and New York to earn qualifying points to participate in the next Winter Olympics. Tarlton previously competed as a USA Olympic weightlifter. This background provided the strength needed for a successful transition to bobsled.Team USA athletes are not totally government-funded, and they are not paid a salary to compete in the Olympics or other qualifying competitions. Training up to 50 hours each week only leaves enough time for part-time employment. If you would like to donate to Tarlton’s Olympic pursuits, please visit GoFund.me/8f046ebf. In addition, Tarlton designed T-shirts as a fundraiser that can be purchased at Tee.pub/lic/yfr_X4mxNr0.
