When I made the announcement about the poll last month, somehow I wasn't aware that J.R. Celski was also up for Male Athlete of the Month, too! Both he and the Men's Relay Team won! USOC announces November Athlete and Team of the Month honoreesDecember 06, 2013 9:22 AM
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
December 6, 2013
Paralympic track & field athlete Tatyana McFadden, short track speedskater J.R. Celski, U.S. men’s 5,000-meter relay earn U.S. Olympic Committee’s November honorsCelski claimed his first two individual short track speedskating medals of the season this month with brilliant performances at the 2013 ISU Short Track World Cup in Kolomna, Russia. Celski won the gold medal in the 1,500 before finishing third in the 1,000. Celski also helped the U.S. men’s 5,000-meter relay team win a gold medal, clinching the overall world cup title and this month’s USOC Team of the Month honors. It was the first world cup overall 5,000-meter relay victory for Team USA in the 16-year history of the event.
Celski joined Chris Creveling (Kintnersville, Pa.), John-Henry Krueger (Pittsburgh, Pa.), Jordan Malone (Denton, Texas), Jeff Simon (Las Vegas, Nev.) and Eddy Alvarez (Miami, Fla.) in making up the historic relay team. In the fourth world cup of the season, the U.S. defeated Russia, Korea, and the Netherlands to win the gold medal. It was the third podium – and second gold medal – of the season for the relay team, giving them enough points to win the overall world cup title in that event.
