reece3We have a local Olympian competing overseas in the next couple weeks.  17 yr old Reece Howden of Cultus Lake is headed to Lillehammer Norway for the 2016 Winter Youth Olympics, where he’ll be taking part in the ski cross event.  Reece won his qualifying race in December to nail down a spot.  The games opening ceremonies are on Friday and the ski cross event is next Monday and Tuesday.

UPDATE: Reece won gold in the Men’s Ski Cross event. Congratulations Reece!
