SGT Shauna Rohbock

Growing up in Utah, Shauna Rohbock attended Brigham Young University, where she received honors as an All-American Athlete in soccer and track and field.

Rohbock continued playing professional soccer after college, for the San Diego Spirit in the women’s professional soccer league, until it folded. She participated in the 1999 U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton Federation open tryout and fell in love with the sport. Rohbock also competed in bobsled during her professional soccer career.

Shauna joined the Utah Army National Guard in 2000 and competed for a push athlete slot on the 2002 Olympic Team. She then began training as a sled driver to improve her chances of participating in the 2006 Olympics.

Rohbock started driving during the 2003 season because she wanted to be in control of her career.

Rohbock has set records in nearly every race that she has competed in. Together with Valerie Fleming, Rohbock set four start records in the 2004-2005 season. In 2006, she achieved her dream by winning the Silver medal in women’s bobsled at the 2006 Olympic Games. Rohbock says her biggest role model is two-time Olympic Gold and one-time Olympic Silver medalist Julie Foudy – “Julie has done so much for sports and women. She is an amazing athlete and person.”
