That’s Scott Gall ’96 <\/strong>hoisting the Winner’s Trophy for the Jeremy Wright North American Snowshoe Championships<\/strong><\/em> held recently in Beaver Creek, Colorado.  The race is held in honor of Jeremy Wright ’96 – Jeremy was a Green Beret killed in action in Afghanistan in 2005.<\/p>\n

Scott and his wife Sarah ran the race.  Both are members of the official racing team of Atlas Snowshoes.<\/p>\n

Jeremy, Scott, and Wabash’s cross country coach Roger Busch ’96 are all in the Wabash Athletics Hall of Fame for their running accomplishments.  Known affectionately as the Three Amigos<\/strong><\/em>, they were stars at Wabash and continued to enjoyed stellar post-collegiate careers.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Wright’s mother, Jackie, was there to see Scott capture the win.<\/p>\n

Ten-K participants vied for the title of North American Snowshoe Champion , while all participants paid tribute to Vail’s Jeremy WRight, an avid snowshoer and local competitor who died in 2005 in Afghanistan while serving in the United States Army.<\/p>\n
