ENGLEWOOD — A fundraiser is being held for a local teen aiming to make the next U.S. Youth Olympics luge team.

Goldie Miller, of Englewood, has been training on luge courses in New York and Ohio, working towards her Olympic dream. She started her luge journey three years ago, staring with on-land training on a soap box derby hill in Columbus.

She worked to be chosen for training, then to make the US developmental team and is now officially among the US Olympic luge squad members.
