Jamie Nilsen ... And Others?

[Dr. Thunder]

Been thinking about the Jamie Nilsen story ... and thinking its just the beginning. Knowing just a little about the family its not surprising to hear about his very early successes in high school, college and now at the next level ...
So anyway, was just wondering how many others among our current active boat racers have also achieved success in sports other than boat racing. How many of our boat racing kids have excelled in basketball, football, baseball,track etc.

Seem to remember a story/thread from last year about one of our boat racing fraternity (sorority too?) that had success in hockey and one fella that was on a state championship basketball team!

Don't be modest ... step up and let us know what's up outside of boatracing.

Seems to me there were several East Coast racers years ago that were state champs in wrestling.

I asked Thomas if he wanted to go to a camp in Pennsylvania that could help his racing and his wrestling…he looked at me with a really confused look…I said you can learn both at the Dewald’s…

and don't forget Stevie Ott who plays hockey for Dallas.
