Students at Campbellton Elementary had a special visitor on Friday, March 20, as Olympic speed skater Ethan Cepuran visited the school to share his journey and experiences competing at the highest level.

Cepuran has represented the United States at the 2022 and 2026 Winter Olympics and is a two-time Olympic medalist in the team pursuit event, earning a bronze medal in 2022 and a silver medal in 2026.

During his visit, Cepuran spoke with students about his path to becoming an Olympian and the dedication required to achieve his goals. Students also had the unique opportunity to see and pass around both of his Olympic medals.

Cepuran’s visit was made possible through his connection to Campbellton kindergartener Nora Smith, whose family has a personal relationship with the Olympian.
