ITHACA, N.Y. – Former men's track and field standout Josh Kirkpatrick '10 is headed to the 2018 Winter Olympics as a member of Canada's bobsled team.
 
Kirkpatrick was a five-time Ivy League Heptagonal champion, earning individual titles in the indoor pole vault (2008), heptathlon (2010), outdoor long jump (2010) and decathlon (2010) while also leading off his 4x100 relay team to victory at the 2010 Outdoor Heps. For his triple-winning effort at the 2010 outdoor league championships, Kirkpatrick was named the meet's Most Outstanding Performer.
 
Kirkpatrick is not the only former Cornell track and field athlete headed to PyeongChang to compete in the bobsled as Jamie Greubel '06 was announced as a member of Team USA's bobsled team earlier this month.
 
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.
