This program allows aspiring student-athletes the opportunity to pursue their athletics at an advanced level while continuing remotely in their home school’s academic curricula, providing an avenue to excel academically and athletically. Flanigan and Ledger are also training in biathlon and working hard to excel in their designated winter sports while staying up to speed in the classroom.
