Dear Biathlon Australia family,

We have had a representative from Paul Smith's College in New York state (not far from Lake Placid), reach out to us to explore possible opportunities for Australian biathletes who may be interested in combining collegiate education with high-level athletic development in the United States. Their website can be found here: https://www.paulsmiths.edu/

What the college offers:
•    Full four-year scholarships for qualified athletes
•    Comprehensive biathlon training and racing support
•    Complete travel coverage for competitions
•    On-campus 8-point biathlon range
•    Direct access to all Lake Placid training venues and facilities
•    Integration with U.S. Biathlon's development pathway

Paul Smith's College has a strong track record of supporting international athletes who want to pursue their education while continuing to progress in biathlon. Our location in the Adirondacks provides world-class training conditions, and our partnership with U.S. Biathlon ensures athletes receive elite-level coaching and competition opportunities.

Please advise by return email to executiveofficer@biathlonaustralia.com.au if you are interested in this opportunity and we will connect with them to discuss this opportunity further.
