IMPORTANT DATES:
COACHES
*All Rangers Coaches have current safesport training
Shaun Radley - I will return as the Team Director and Head Coach of the Rangers. I've been racing bikes for 25 years in Missoula and love coaching and putting on races.
Abby Wiggin - Abby will return as a Co-Team Director. She grew up skiing in Vermont. From an early age she raced skis and found it a bit miserable. That experience ingrained toughness and grit especially for the winter months. She brings a passion for fun, skill development, and figuring out your own racing voice.
- Emma Swartz - Committed to coaching, Emma, is smart, informed, motivated, and super fun. Emma has experience with high level racing at a young age and shares that wisdom with her athletes. Whether she is jumping into a nordic race or crushing it at bike team, she is just happy to be there. New to town, Emma works in education and saving the planet. You want to recreate, take Emma with you.
- Meghann Shroeder - Great person, amazing with the kids. Excellent racer and leader in our community.
- Scott Lenaburg - Great energy, great leader, tough act to follow. Scott signed up to coach ZDT Rangers this year and he may never look back. A coach with enough energy and dad jokes to go around, Scott is a ton of fun. Hang on to your hats.
- Mike Kernan - Wax tech, awesome skier, old fashion good guy. Mike moonlights at the MTCX bike shop, but his day job is at the Poverello. Kind hearted and out to do good, we value Mike's role in the community. Coaching has been a natural fit for Mike and we are so glad he is becoming a part of the Badgers this season.
