Not many high school biology teachers suggest their students try the sport of bobsledding, but Maddy Cohen’s teacher Matt Roy at Northwood School did just that. This past week, the 2020 Lake Placid High School graduate and current first-year student at the University of Vermont, 17-year-old Maddy of Keene Valley participated as the youngest athlete in the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation’s North American Cup. Held at the Mount Van Hoevenberg track, placing sixth the first day in the monobob and fifth the second day.
