Sarah Will ’87 Named to U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame
At one time, Sarah Will ’87 was the top skier on the Green Mountain College ski team and ranked 20th in the nation. But shortly after her graduation, the U.S. Olympic ski team hopeful suffered a serious skiing accident that left her paralyzed from the waist down. Rather than give up the sport she loved, she took up mono skiing and was back on the slopes just one year later. Now the most decorated female mono skier in U.S. Ski Team history, Will was elected to the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame July 1 along with U.S. athletic luminaries Michael Johnson and Picabo Street.
Four years after her start in the mono-ski, she competed in her first Paralympic Games, winning gold in downhill and super G in 1992 in Albertville, France. Will won a total of 12 Paralympic gold medals and one silver medal throughout her four Paralympic experiences, making her the most decorated female mono skier in U.S. Ski Team history. In 2002, Will took the Paralympic alpine skiing gold medal sweep, winning all four races, along with the U.S. Paralympic Spirit Award. Will was elected to the Green Mountain College Athletic Hall of Fame in 1998.
Other athletes inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame include Johnson (track and field), Street (alpine skiing), Teresa Edwards (basketball), Willye White (track and field), Mary T. Meagher (swimming), the 1992 U.S. Men's Olympic Basketball Team, longtime men's gymnastics coach Abie Grossfeld, skiing veteran Andrea Mead-Lawrence, and special contributor Peter Ueberroth.
The U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame is the only national sports hall of fame that uses fan voting as part of its selection process. The U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame Class of 2009 will be formally introduced and honored August 12 at a banquet-style induction ceremony at McCormick Place in Chicago.
