GREENVILLE TECH STUDENT NAMED TO BOBSLED TEAM
While he’s learning new skills to make aircraft fly, Adam Clark will also be flying himself: down the bobsled track as a member of the 2014-15 Men’s National Bobsled Team. Clark is one of four returning members, having first joined the team in 2011. Clark is a student at Greenville Technical College’s aircraft maintenance technology program and will be studying for the FAA airplane and power plant exam and training at the same time. “I’m always challenging myself to be better than I was yesterday, and I get excited when I see other people pushing themselves, too,” Clark said in a statement. “I’m very excited that Greenville Tech is willing to work with me so that I can continue to represent my country and my family, while still getting an education.” Clark is gearing up for the World Cup tour beginning in Lake Placid, N.Y., on Dec. 12 and running through March 2015.
