Judy





Tenacious Trainer: Judy Overholtzer

Judy runs Neka and Rosa.
Judy fell in love with flyball soon after she began seeking an outlet for Neka's energy, and she began racing with us in 2003. In 2006, Judy began racing her new pup Rosa, who has proven to be an outstanding racer, thanks to Judy's patient and thorough training program.

Chief Organizer: Sarah Sheridan
Sarah runs Annie.
Sarah has become a mainstay of the team since she joined in 2007. She worked hard with talented Annie to get her tournament-ready in a few short months. Now Annie is a start dog, and Sarah keeps the team well-organized and well-fed by working on uniform ideas, creating fliers and forms, bringing in new team members, arranging team events, and bringing delicious dishes to every tournament!

Boxloader and More: Eli Sheridan

Eli joined team practices with Sarah, and quickly became a dedicated flyball sportsman. He helps all of us train our dogs, troubleshoots on the flyball box, builds equipment, and keeps our operations humming along. Most important, he's a flawless boxloader!
Powerful Handler: Cheryl Christy
Cheryl runs Bu.
Cheryl joined our team in summer 2007, and she has proven to be a dedicated member full of special surprises, such as her talent at making beautiful collars and red rock signs. This is aside from her ability to train, manage, and inspire her powerful and superfast dog--Bu!

Michael







All-Arounder: Michael Sheridan

Michael has done nearly every job possible on the team--he ran our rough and tough Bravo in several tournaments and many practices, he has ball-shagged, box-loaded, line-called, and even videotaped the team. When it comes to flyball, Michael has proven to be a true MVP!

Incredibly Tolerant Husband: Ivan Madar
In a world divided into "sane people and dog people," Ivan falls squarely in the sane people camp. Yet he often joins the team at tournaments and even helps box load when he's needed. Of all the dog sports Alice has ever been involved in, flyball is the only one that Ivan actually enjoys watching.
