About this Event
Join us on July 9th for our monthly Lunch and Learn - Behind the Scenes with an Olympian in the Family. Nancy and Elizabeth Jorgensen (mother and sister of Waukesha’s 2016 Olympic Champion in triathlon) discuss their family’s experience with Olympic training, travel, and drug testing. They open up about Gwen’s failures and wins, her injuries and glory. They offer inside information on women in professional sports and the challenges they face, with personal anecdotes about Gwen’s experiences giving birth and raising two boys while competing on the international scene.
Elizabeth Jorgensen teaches creative writing and journalism at Arrowhead High School in Hartland, Wisconsin. Nancy Jorgensen is a retired high school choral music director, nonfiction writer, and piano accompanist. They are the co-authors of two books on the Olympic experience: Go, Gwen, Go and Gwen Jorgensen: USA’s First Olympic Gold Medal Triathlete.
