PYEONGCHANG, South Korea - A total of 12 athletes with ties to the University of Vermont competed in the 2018 Winter Olympic Games over the last two weeks in PyeongChang, including a school-record nine former or current UVM student-athletes. The mark of nine Catamount Olympians surpassed the previous school record of six during the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary.
Amanda Pelkey '15 became the fifth Catamount to win Olympic gold with Team USA in women's ice hockey after a shootout victory over rival Canada. Jonathan Nordbotten '14 also won a bronze medal in the inaugural alpine skiing team event with Norway. Kevin Drury '14 narrowly missed the podium for Canada in men's ski cross, placing fourth overall.
