Introducing: Green Bay's Winter Olympians

Kayla Tetschlag, a junior forward at Green Bay, is a Women's Basketball correspondent for the HLN Blog.

I'm a really big fan of the Olympics. I mean, what's better than watching athletes compete in events that they've trained four long years for? Watching all of the different events got me thinking though — what would it be like if the Green Bay Women's Basketball team were to participate? What events would everyone enter? Of course, we'd have to play to our strengths (and train really hard). But, it could be done. And here's how:

We'll start with a traditional winter sport, Women's Hockey. These players are tough and physical, which is why I've selected transfer Katie Bushman and freshman post player Breannah Ranger to take part in this event. I can already see these two checking opponents into the boards and losing their teeth in the process.

Next we move to Ski Jumping, one of the strangest, yet most exhilarating sports I've seen. The competitor in this event must be able to get off the ground quickly, so who better than the person who has the most hops on the team? That's right: Stephanie Sension will be strapping on her skis and flying hundreds of meters through the chilly air. I'm positive she will represent us well.

Speaking of skis, the Downhill event is next. Junior Morgan Faase and transfer Jenny Gilbertson will be representing the team in this event, mostly due to their height. They'll use their long legs to fly down the mountain and right across the finish line.

Next, let's go indoors for a completely different event: Curling. This competitor must be very intelligent and aware of the games' strategies, and opponents, so I have selected Lydia Bauer. Lydia came in this year as one of the smartest freshmen I've seen, so I have no doubts that she will show the world her skills and win us a medal in the curling event.

Over at the figure skating rink, freshman Sarah Eichler will be competing in the Short Program. Sarah is an all-around athlete, so she's perfect for this event, which combines athleticism and grace. We'll have to find her a partner, so if nobody on our men's team volunteers, I'd have no problem selecting one of them too.

For the final indoor event, we'll see Adrian "Apollo Anton Ohno" Ritchie compete on the speed skating short track. She's swift on the court and she'll continue to be swift as she moves across the ice. This sport is all about balance, speed, and strategy. Even as a freshman, I think Adrian has enough of all three to make it work.

As we walk over to the half pipe, we'll see Junior Celeste Hoewisch, who I've selected to represent our team in the snowboarding competitions. This shouldn't be a surprise to any of you who've seen our games because Celeste is known to quite often complete 360-degree spins past opponents. Well, she'll be putting that skill to good use in this event, where she can strap on her board and do 360s and 720s as much as her little heart desires.

The Super-G is a tough skiing event which combines speed and precision, but I have selected the perfect competitor because I know she can handle it. Why? Because she is the fastest driver I know, and loves a little adventure. Sophomore Julie Wojta will be flying down the course at remarkable speeds and will do her best to win us a medal.

Next, we need some bobsledders. I have chosen redshirt Samantha Zastrow and sophomore Hannah Quilling to participate because they are quick on the court, so they are sure to be quick on the ice. Not only that, but they are actually small enough to hop into a bobsled and fly down the ice together, hopefully winning a gold medal along the way.

On to the Biathlon, where two people will be participating in the Relay portion: Athletic Trainer Dusty Lang and manager Nellie Schaefer. These two clearly have speed for the skiing event (Dusty is the first to reach an injured player at practice) and precision for the shooting range (Nellie has a lot of experience filling water bottles in her time). This duo takes care of our team well, and I know they'll compete hard in this challenging event.

Lastly, Junior Heather Golden and I will be racing on behalf of our team in the cross country skiing Team Sprint event. Heather and I will need to use strong upper body muscles to power past opponents as we sprint around the course for a total of six laps. We'll need to perform correct exchanges, so some practice will be involved, but I'm confident we can handle it.

So there you have it! Coach Bollant, coach Divilbiss, coach Bronk, coach Leonhard, and coach Flunker sure do have their hands full, because once the basketball season is over, training begins for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games. See you all in Sochi, Russia!
