NAME: Tyler Dana
AGE: 16
FAMILY: Parents: John, Cathy; sibling: Allison, 18
SCHOOL YEAR: Junior
SPORTS YOU PLAY: Soccer, skiing
FAVORITE SPORT, AND WHY: Skiing is my favorite sport, because of the adrenaline and thrill of it, while speeding down the course, barely in control. You’re mostly never going to win a ski race if you hold back. If you’re not scared the whole time, then it wasn’t fast. Because the actual time spent skiing in a race is so short, it makes every turn and second matter. It brings a sense of technicality to the sport in the midst of chaos that’s definitely a part of it.
MOST MEMORABLE MEET FOR YOU, AND WHY: My most memorable race was our first race this past season, when the whole team finished with solid results, including the freshmen, who set the bar for the remainder of the season. My other most memorable race was on Senior Night, when we celebrated our seniors and captains for their dedication to the program throughout the last four years.
PLANS FOR AFTER HIGH SCHOOL: Maybe Massachusetts Maritime Academy or a traditional university.
MAJOR: Undecided
DO YOU WANT TO PLAY SPORTS IN COLLEGE: I’m thinking about club ski racing.
DESIRED CAREER: Undecided
