Andy Soule
Andy Soule was a college student at Texas A&M University and a member of the University Corps of Cadets when tragedy struck the United States. Not long after September 11th, Andy left school to join the Army. After completing basic, he was quickly deployed to Afghanistan when a tragedy of a more personal nature occurred – an IED exploded, causing Andy to lose both of his legs. Instead of being overcome by his injury, Andy threw himself into finding out a way to thrive. He attended a cross-country skiing recruitment camp and soon became enamored with the sport. Before he knew it, he started succeeding tremendously and won the bronze at the Sochi Olympics. He later made history when he won the most medals ever by a United States athlete at the 2015 World Championships. He again won two more medals in 2017 and big things are expected from him at Pyeongchang 2018.
