YHS GRAD IS SNOWBOARD CHAMP. York High School graduate Whitney Sullivan, pictured here, reacts after winning first place in the giant slalom at the College Women's Snowboarding 2007 National Competition in Winter Park, Colo. in early March. Her team, the East Carolina University Pirates, took second place overall in the event, beating out western teams even though they have no coach, no scheduled practices and are located in Greenville, N.C., which is not exactly known for its snowy mountains. Because of her win, Sullivan was also invited to compete at the national level as part of the United States Snowboard Association, but had to turn down the offer because she will be going to Uruguay to study abroad next year and wants to focus on her Spanish skills instead. Sullivan, 20, is a sophomore at East Carolina University and is the daughter of Roberta and Michael Sullivan of York. Courtesy photo
