Sport Sandbags is proud to introduce our newest athlete-Greg Rafter. Greg is a skeleton athlete for the National Development Team and has a varied (and successful) athletic background. He was the 2008 Calgary High School Athlete of the Year and has competed in Football, Volleyball, Rugby, and Track and Field. He also has a Black Belt in Judo and was his class Valedictorian...... so it is pretty safe to call this guy well rounded!
We first spotted Greg training on the track during the summer and stopped by to say hello while we were filming another athlete. We were intrigued by his training apparatus and wanted to learn more about this fellow and his strange "track skeleton".
After getting to know Greg, we are happy to supply him with equipment that can help him achieve his goal of competing for Canada at the Olympics. We found a natural synergy between the demands of Skeleton and the dragging capabilities of our bags.
We are also very excited to announce that Greg has recently been selected to travel to Europe in November with teammate (and Gold medalist) Jon Montgomery. This is the essentially the "dress rehearsal" for the Olympic Games and we know firsthand how hard Greg has worked to get to this position. We are proud to be associated with such a dedicated athlete and all around class act.
We will be following Greg closely over the next few weeks as we wrap up his training video........stay tuned!
