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. I'm also a coach for Alpine Running Guides, the Ice Badgers, and Mammoths.
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. Meghann is the co-race director for the Dusty Bandita and helps MT Alpha with events. She has coached 10 seasons of Ice Badgers and Rangers.
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. Coach Schoot is now in his 4th season as a full time Ice Badgers, Mammoths, and Rangers Coach.
Mike Kernan - Bike tech, awesome skier, old fashion good guy. Mike moonlights at the MTCX bike shop. 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.
Willy Miller - Over 30 years of experience biking and bike racing. Willy is great with kids and sports and also an excellent wrench and community member. One of the founding member of Hellgate Cyclery. Willy hangs around our race team and keeps everyone having fun!
