Kearns • USA Speedskating coach Wilma Boomstra is sending lambs into the ISU Short Track World Cup event being held this weekend at the Utah Olympic Oval and hoping they come out lions.
The oldest on Boomstra’s 12 skater roster is 24 years old. The youngest is 16. Almost half of them have no World Cup racing experience to speak of.
“If you compare that to the rest of the world, we’re babies,” Boomstra said. “Obviously the rest of the world has more experience than my skaters. But I’m all about hard work and putting in hours.
