"If we can just get people to participate, recruiters to go after high school and college athletes, I think we could fill the entire National Guard Bureau athletic teams with California Guardsmen." But the programs focus is not necessarily the "blue chip" athlete who appears to have infinite potential. The program is designed to help find talent and develop it all you need is desire and the boldness to dream.

His quest to ski the 20-kilometer course a split second faster than 87 other Olympic biathletes has begun. The biathlon, a combination of riflery and cross country skiing, is one of the most challenging Olympic sports. "Skiing is more difficult because you carry a seven pound rifle," Jeremy explains. "Shooting is more challenging because you need to calm down before taking aim." Vladimir Obelic, a veteran of six Olympic Games and manager of on venue results for Nordic events, knows how difficult the biathlon is. "Technologically, it is the most demanding Olympic sport," he says. "Biathlon has all the requirements of cross country skiing with its interval start, intermediate timing points, and staggered finish and all the demands of shooting with its automated and manual scoring."

Extractions: MIDWAY, Utah Nerves woke Lawton Redman before dawn Thursday, but he settled down in time to win his second race of the U.S. biathlon trials and secure a berth on the Olympic team. Redman won the 10-kilometer sprint in 26 minutes, 50.5 seconds, and missed just one of 20 targets on the rolling Soldier Hollow course 40 miles southeast of Salt Lake City, where the Olympic races will be held. "I was a little nervous," Redman said. "I wanted to ski a good race." Jill Krause takes a moment to reflect after her victory at the biathlon trials on Thursday. Krause's win was not enough to earn an Olympic bid. Redman moved from Florence, Vt., to Heber City, Utah, in the fall of 2000 to train for the Winter Games. Jay Hakkinen, of Kasilof, Alaska, also locked up a berth with his second-place finish in 27:12.6, as did Jeremy Teela, of Anchorage, Alaska, who was third in 27:23.1. Dan Campbell, of Hastings, Minn., took the fourth and final spot, and Dan Westover of Jericho, Vt., and David Gieck of Jackson, Wyo., were selected as alternates. On the women's side, Jill Krause, of St. Cloud, Minn., won the final 7.5-kilometer race on the Olympic course, but her effort came too late to land her on the team. Barring official changes, Rachel Steer of Anchorage, Kara Salmela of Duluth, Mich., Andrea Nahrgang, of Wayzalta, Minn., and Kristina Sabasteanski, of Standish, Maine, will comprise the women's team at the games.
