Meghan Tierney, Edwards
Speciality: Snowboard cross
Age: 21
Growing up chasing an older brother who competed in snowboard slopestyle, 21-year-old snowboard cross racer Tierney quickly developed skills beyond her years. After recovering from a back injury in late 2016, Tierney entered this season a long-shot to make the Olympic team, led by veteran Lindsey Jacobellis. She steadily improved, finding a career-best seventh at the final Olympic qualifying contests in Turkey in January that won her a spot on U.S. Snowboarding’s four-women snowboard cross team.
Competing: Feb. 16.
