As an adjunct instructor of voice at Green Mountain College, Lucy Allen Tenenbaum ’oi has had several of her students working on people & projects Aiming for Athens [photograph] Giovanni Laudicina Before she was an archer, Joy Fahrenkrog ’02 was a rower. She won a gold medal at the Women’s Henley in England in 2001 and hoped to make the US Olympic team. But when she learned that the International Olympic Committee might cut lightweight rowing from the games, Fahrenkrog didn’t wait around for the decision; she began scoping out other sports. “I went down the list and checked off ones I thought I could pick up at the ‘late’ age of 23,” she recalls. “It came down to cycling, archery, or fencing.” Archery won. “Maybe it was because I was runner-up camp champion when I was eight,” she says. “Or maybe it was just because it seemed so unique.” She started training immediately, once again eyeing the Olympics. Up until the end of December, Fahrenkrog had a full-time job as a trading assistant at Schwab in Boston. She’d work out at the gym at 5:30 a.m., report to the trading desk at 7:15, work until 4:45, and then drive 60 miles to Exeter, N.H., where she’d set up her equipment and shoot 100-150 arrows at distances of 30-70 meters. By 8:45 she was driving home, in bed by 10:30. After three months of training, Fahrenkrog placed 44th at the US indoor nationals and later 25th at the outdoor nationals. In Massachusetts last year, she was the champion at both the indoor and outdoor Bay State Games. On January 1 she packed her car and moved to southern Florida to train with Vic Wunderle, a silver and bronze medalist at the 2000 Olympics (also her boyfriend). She’s jobless now, but it’s warm down south and she can train the entire day, every day. She recently won the Florida State Indoor Championship. The Olympic trials are in June. “If I had to rate my chances of making the team, I’d say they’re pretty good,” she says. Her toughest competition in the trials will be herself. At the games in Athens this summer, it’ll be the Koreans, who have dominated the sport for twenty years. To track Fahrenkrog’s progress, visit her Web site: www.aim4athens.com. —MTS Skidmore Scope 59
