Utah Paralympic snowboarder Brenna Huckaby dedicates first Pyeongchang gold medal to her daughter

Millcreek snowboarder Brenna Huckaby knows her 2-year-old daughter is too young now to understand what it all means. Still, Huckaby hopes one day her little girl will see her mother’s races at the Pyeongchang Paralympics as a lesson in perseverance.

“It’s incredible,” Huckaby said. “In the start gate I said to myself, ‘For Lilah’, because that is one of the main reasons … and pushing through trying times to show her that she can do anything she wants. It was hard today but I just reminded myself why I do this and it’s for her and that helped.
