ABOUT ME 

Paige Wheeler’s athletic journey started on the ice rinks of Arlington, VA, where she played hockey before shifting to rowing in 8th grade — and just for good measure, she threw in long-distance running too (including the Marine Corps Marathon… in 9th grade). That early mix of endurance, tenacity, and discipline has shaped her ever since.

After a standout high school career at Washington-Liberty, Paige rowed briefly at Kansas before transferring to Ohio State, where she helped the Buckeyes claim a Big Ten Championship and made three NCAA Championship appearances. She’s since built an impressive resume in sculling: earning a spot at U23 quad camp in 2023 and then, in 2024, winning U23 Trials in the double with partner Ellie VanHouten and racing at U23 Worlds, where they won the B Final.

Paige now trains with the Craftsbury Green Racing Project (GRP), a high-performance sculling program in Vermont. With top-15 finishes at Fall and Winter Speed Orders and her eyes on LA 2028, she’s doubling down on her Olympic dream — blending raw endurance, technical growth, and the quiet confidence of an athlete who knows how far she’s come… and how far she plans to go.

ABOUT ME 

I’m Abi, a data scientist, coach, and mountain bike racer. I’ve had the privilege to race four world championships across enduro and cross-country marathon mtb over the last three seasons, and this year, am focusing more on big stage race events, including Trans New Zealand
(enduro), BC Bike Race (cross country), and Breck Epic (cross country). 

I’m based in Roanoke, VA and in addition to coaching for several junior development teams, run a small scholarship program to help get more women at the start line of mountain bike races–and work full time as a data scientist. Though I love racing, I also just love riding mountain bikes because of the opportunity it provides to spend big days on the trails with friends–that’s pretty much my definition of a perfect day!

HIGHLIGHTS:
Getting to race two world championship events back to back in Switzerland last season (enduro and XCM, 2025). Being able to race the 2024 XCM World Championships on my “home mountain” at Snowshoe, WV. 2nd place at Trans New Zealand in February (2026). Getting 20 women on the 2026 Ride Fierce Women’s Scholarship!

ABOUT ME 

Meet Skylar Dahl, known affectionately as ‘Sky’, an American Paralympic rower. Originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota, Skylar’s initial athletic dream was a college basketball scholarship. However, born with bilateral clubfeet, a broken foot and increasing pain at age 14 delivered a dream-crushing reality, seemingly ending her athletic career. Just months later, she discovered rowing. Motivated by the prospect of an athletic scholarship, she joined the Twin Cities Youth Rowing Club, embracing a sport that wasn’t hard on her feet, and she could do forever.
 
As a University of Virginia student-athlete, Skylar helped UVA secure an ACC Championship in 2023 and earned spots on the All-ACC Academic Team and ACC Honor Roll. Her coach, Kevin Sauer, took note of her journey to the sport, leading him to inquire about her qualification for para rowing. This pivotal moment launched her international career, earning a silver medal at the 2023 World Rowing Championships and a gold medal at the 2023 Para Rowing Regatta in Paris. Her dedication culminated in a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Paralympics in the PR3 Mixed coxed four event. Skylar views her condition not as a disability or a limitation, but as just a challenge that she continues to overcome. Following her 2025 graduation, she now trains full time at the United States Training Center in Boston, MA with sights set on the LA 2028 Games!

ABOUT ME
My name is Annabelle Miller, and I’m originally from Kansas City, Missouri. I learn to row at and graduated from Wesleyan University in 2025 and moved to Boston shortly after to train and compete full time with the United States Paralympic National Rowing Team as I pursue the 2028 Paralympic Games. Outside of rowing, I love biking, mountains, the outdoors, and music.

HIGHLIGHTS:
Being named team captain my senior year of college while helping lead my team to a third-place national finish, making history in my boat, and earning team MVP honors — all while training for and earning a spot on the U.S. para national team. That season ultimately led to placing 2nd and 4th at World Cup II and the World Championships.
