THINKSTOCK“We are very fortunate to have three Olympians from the Churchville area,” says Churchville Mayor Nancy Steedman. “The Village Board is working on getting banners, similar to the Hometown Heroes banners (in many communities), for our four corners, that read Hometown Olympians.”
In an effort with the Town of Riga and Roberts Wesleyan College, the mayor says she’s working on a motorcade and celebration for when Olympic Gold Medalist pole vaulter Jenn Suhr returns home. Suhr is a RWC graduate.
Signs that indicate Churchville is home to three Olympians are also being discussed. The other two Olympians are hockey player Lyndsay Wahl and Ryan Chalmers who is about to compete in the Paralympics in London this month.
