This community-outreach program reaches some 8,000 youngsters at more than 30 schools nationwide each year. The goal of the Win@School program is to motivate middle school students by having USA Luge National and Olympic Team athletes deliver messages about working hard for your dreams and ultimately reaching them through dedication, goal-setting and perseverance. The program is comprised of two parts: a one-week interdisciplinary guide for use in the classroom and a follow-up presentation by USA Luge National and Olympic Team athletes. In short, the athletes stress that the attributes of a successful athlete are also necessary to win at school and in life.

News Releases January 27, 2004 CANADA TO FIELD STRONGEST TEAM EVER WHILE HOSTING WORLD JUNIOR LUGE CHAMPIONSHIPS IN CALGARY -Powerful national development program puts sights on country's first Olympic medals - Calgary, Alta. - Canada will field its strongest team ever for the World Junior Luge Championships this week, January 27 – February 1, 2004, as Canadian veterans of the senior World Cup circuit return home to compete against athletes their own age. “The Canadian luge development program is now one of the most well-built systems in the world,” said Jack MacDonald, president, Canadian Luge Association. “The steady and consistent improvement of our athletes at the junior and World Cup level over the past few years demonstrates world-leading success and a sound development system.” More than 90 of the world’s top luge athletes under the age of 20 will represent 26 nations when they assemble in Calgary to contest for the World Junior Championship title. Canada will suit up 12 male and female athletes – eight of them being teenagers that compete regularly on the World Cup circuit against legends in the sport nearly double their age. Calgary’s Sam Edney and Ian Cockerline are two 19-year-old veterans on the young squad that will be battling for the international crown. Fellow Calgarians Matt McMurray, 19, and reigning Canadian champion, Matt Babinec, 16, will join them in men’s singles. Edney will also compete in men’s doubles with 17-year-old Gwyn Lewis, of Calgary. Edney and Lewis have been consistently improving and climbing their way up the World Cup rankings this year. Calgarians Marshall Savill and Winston Davis, both 18, will also team up in men’s doubles, while 15-year-olds, Cameron Gunn and Devon Gell, will drive Canada’s third junior men’s doubles sled.
