COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Former Cornell women's track and field standout Jamie Greubel '06 was named to the 2018 U.S. Olympic Team in the sport of bobsled, as was announced this weekend by USA Bobsled and Skeleton. The selection is the second of Gruebel's career, as she won the bronze medal at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, becoming just the second Big Red graduate to earn a medal in bobsled, joining Dick Parke '16 who won gold in the men's four-man bobsled at the 1928 games in St. Moritz, Switzerland.
 
During her time with the Big Red, Greubel was a member of four Indoor and four Outdoor Heptagonal Championship teams. Individually, she won four Heps championships and holds the school record in the heptathlon (outdoor) and pentathlon (indoor). One of only two three-time outdoor Heps Champions in Ivy League history, she also set the meet record in the heptathlon in 2006.
 
The PyeongChang Games kick off February 9 and will conclude February 25. Bobsled will be contested February 18-25, and competition will be held at the Olympic Sliding Centre in the PyeongChang Mountain Cluster.
 
Greubel represents one of four female bobsledders named to Team USA at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in South Korea in February. Final selections to the 2018 U.S. Olympic Team are subject to U.S. Olympic Committee approval; the full team will be announced at the end of January.
