R-P’s own Mark Grimmette, class of 1989, was named as our country’s flag bearer for the winter olympics 2010. Needless to say that the entire R-P community is very proud of Mark’s accomplishments and wish him the very best as he competes for the only medal that’s missing in his drawer, the GOLD!
I’ve linked Wood TV 8’s site where you can read an article on Mark and view an interview of Mark by sports news anchor, Jack Doles.
The 2010 Vancouver Olympics opening ceremony will commence Friday evening, February 12th on NBC, time TBA.
Mark will make his first luge run next week Wednesday, February 17th at approximately 8:00 p.m.
Mark will be back in Muskegon for his June 5th induction to the Muskegon Area Sports Hall of Fame. We’re hopeful that we can get him on campus to meet with our students prior to the end of the school year. We’ll keep you posted on this possibility.
