A glance at the inductees’ career highlights:

As a mono-skier, she secured four Paralympic medals, a World Championship gold, and seven World Cup titles. She later transitioned to handcycling, winning three gold medals at the London 2012 Paralympic Games. Outside of sport, she has served her community in the Idaho House of Representatives.
