- Three Dartmouth Alumnae Biathletes Selected for Sochi 2014 January 21, 2014
Of the five women named to the 2014 Winter Olympic U.S. Biathlon team this week, three are Dartmouth graduates.
Hannah Dreissigacker ’09, Thayer ’10, Susan Dunklee ’08, and Sara Studebaker ’07 are heading to Sochi, Russia, to try for the first-ever medal for the U.S. in biathlon—an ancient sport with military roots that combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting.
“We believe we are members of the strongest team U.S. Biathlon has ever fielded,” says Susan Dunklee ’08. (Photo by Ralph Orlowski/Reuters)
“We will have quite the Dartmouth contingent,” says Dreissigacker, the daughter of Olympic rowers Judy Geer ’75, Thayer ’83, and Dick Dreissigacker. “We have worked so hard together, pushed each other to be better, helped each other through the hard parts, and had so much fun together, and I am so glad that we all qualified for Sochi together.”
All three were members of the Dartmouth ski team, training under coach Cami Thompson Graves. They were also top students, majoring in engineering and studio art (Dreissigacker), biology with an ecology focus (Dunklee), and government and Latino and Caribbean studies (Studebaker).

The Bretton Woods Nordic Club/Bill Koch League is organizing an event called “Ski for David’s House” that is taking place on February 1st at the Bretton Woods Nordic Center. The purpose is simple … raise money for David’s House, a home-away-from-home for families whose children are receiving treatment at the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH.
At the end of a day skiing, you’ll feel good, not only because you had fun skiing, but you also helped families who can’t be outside having fun … all of the info you need is online at www.davids-house.org/skiing. Your participation will help make this event a success and will help provide a home-away-from-home for the families of children at the Children’s Hospital. David’s House recently opened four additional bedrooms, which means the need for support is more critical now than ever. Visit www.davids-house.org/words to get inspired.
Thanks and we hope to see you on February 1st!
