Wish you could be in Italy watching the Winter Olympics? What if there were a closer race … and the bobsleds were coolers? Last weekend, Cooler Runnings, a fundraiser for the Flagstaff Family Food Center sponsored by Canyon Coolers and Mother Road, offered locals the chance to “sled” down a hill using modified Canyon Coolers as bobsleds. Check out NAU’s entry and Louie’s run!
Chris Phillips, Molly Wood and Heather Ainardi from NAU Advancement | Foundation built and designed the sled, with Marquiza Gallegos and Wyatt Thompson, both graduate assistants from NAU Athletics—and, of course, Louie—driving the sled.
