Army Olympian Captain Chris Fogt will visit Leavenworth and Piper High Schools

Chris Fogt began the sport of bobsled in 2007 after attending a camp in Lake Placid, N.Y. Since then he has pushed for drivers on the America's Cup and World Cup circuits.
Fogt graduated from Utah Valley University with a degree in Business Management. While at Utah Valley he ran track and field where he was team Captain for two years, and set an indoor school record in the 100-meter sprint (10.53), and in the 60-meter dash (6.92).
He also completed ROTC and commissioned into the army as a 2nd LT in the Military Intelligence branch. He is currently a member of the World Class Athlete Program. Fogt spent a one year deployment in Iraq immediately following the 2010 Vancouver Games, and had made a strong comeback to the sport to make a bid for the 2014 team.
