U.S. Olympic Athletes
Alex Sprague
Alex Sprague's athletic background in heptathlon, decathlon and pentathlon gave him a push into the sport of bobsled in 2004. Sprague helped Mike Kohn win his first-career World Cup medal as a driver in the 2-man competition held in Lake Placid, N.Y. in November 2005. After a brief hiatus from the sport, Sprague returned in 2008 and has helped push 2002 Olympic silver medalist Todd Hays back onto the World Cup team.
