Chika Griwsold first took to the ice on figure skates when she was three, following in the footsteps of her older sister who was a competitive figure skater. Skating seemed to come naturally to her, so it was no surprise that she had the ability to skate fast right away her first time on speedskates at the age of 7. Though she hasn't been an active participant in the sport for many years, her love of speedskating has remained. Hence her speedskating motto, "Once a speedskater, always a speedskater." Read more about Chika here. If you know of an Alumni that you think should be featured in our spotlight section, please reach out to a member of the Alumni Commission.
