Natalie Darwitz, Olympic Champion

Natalie began skating at age five in Eagan and now just returned from winning an Olympic silver medal in Vancouver as the Captain of the US women's hockey team. She also sports a bronze medal from the Olympic Games in Torino, Italy and Silver from the Salt Lake City Olympics. Olympian Darwitz graduated from Eagan High School and the University of Minnesota. The Vancouver Olympic medals are all different & unique with each one making up a piece of the bigger "puzzle" of the scarf's design inspired by native Canadian art. Congratulations, Natalie!

It was so much fun to meet Natalie in our office yesterday and my wife and 3 daughters really enjoyed meeting her, too! She was so nice and really interacted with them and talked for quite a while with us! Coooool medals!
Congratulations again, Natalie! Eagan Olympic Champion!

WOW! Eagan must be so proud! I was actually watching the women's hockey during the olympics, but had no idea someone from Eagan was on the team! Way to go Natalie!

I saw your wife at dance yesterday and she left early to go to this photo shoot but told me to check out your website. Such a great "Eagan" shot!

It was so fun meeting a real Olympian athlete! The girls and I enjoyed our visit with her so much!!!! Natalie is a super nice person - AND grew up in Eagan. We all had a great time.

A very fine-looking young lady and I can see why Eagan would be proud of her. And she kind of offsets the presence of a certain financial advisor which shall remain nameless...(psst - his name sort rhymes with Eagan)...
