Bob Fenn, Mahoney's coach, knows all about long-shots making the Olympics. He coached KC Boutiette, an inline skating champion who made the 1994 U.S. Olympic team after just six weeks on speedskates.

Cheyenne Chapter of Rocky Mountain Racing Wins 29 Trophies At Wichita Speed Skating Classic
Cheyenne 2-7-08 - 6/4/2007
(Set/Whistle)
THEY HAVE MADE LARGE STRIDES...
"The Wichita Classic was our first meet last year as a club," said Coach Anthony Bannon.
(C'mon Ladies All-the way!)
... AND TURNED MANY CORNERS...
"We quadrupled our numbers this year in trophies and success."
AND AT THE WICHITA SPEED-SKATING CLASSIC... THE CHEYENNE CHAPTER OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN RACING... WHISKED BY THE COMPETITION.
"When they called that we got the High-Point Award, everybody started screaming from our team because we didn't know that we were going to get it," explained 10 year-old Brianna Bocox. "We have less skaters than most of those people."
"I was happy we got the first place trophy overall and I was happy for everybody else," added 12 year-old Blake Nichols.
(Ben) In the time it would take for me to put on these skates, the entire team could probably go around the rink not once, not twice but thrice - and that's if I was hurrying. They know something about success - this past week in Wichita, the team won a total of 29 trophies!
"Just to see the looks on their faces - and the Awe in the other people's eyes from other skating rinks and teams that we came with a vengeance this year - It was just awesome," recalled Bannon.
"For them to go off to an actual invitational and do so well is pretty impressive," said Coach Eric Fountain.

Speed skating: Denton's Malone looks to finish strong
08:59 AM CST on Friday, February 8, 2008
By Todd Jorgenson / Sports Editor
Jordan Malone is happy to be back on home ice for the finale to his individual World Cup circuit race season.
The Denton native will compete beginning today in the Samsung ISU World Cup short track speed skating event at the Utah Olympic Oval in Salt Lake City.
Malone, 23, has been training in Salt Lake City, which hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics, with the United States national team for the past year after the squad moved from Colorado Springs in 2007.
He said this weekend’s meet is critical because it represents one of the last opportunities of the season to determine individual and team rankings.
“It’s the most important,” Malone said. “The world rankings are very important.”
