SALT LAKE CITY – With one Westminster College student already having won a medal at the 2010 Olympics, students on campus will be gathering to cheer on another potential medal contender on February 25 as junior Ryan St. Onge competes for the “gold” during the Freestyle Skiing - Mens’ Aerials Finals.

The Associated Students of Westminster College will host a viewing party for the campus to cheer on their fellow classmate on Thursday, Feb. 25, from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Shaw Center.

Fourteen Westminster students were named to the 2010 Olympic Team and have been competing in Vancouver throughout the past few weeks.
