Whitefish native Nicole Heavirland is off to Paris as a part of the U.S. women’s rugby team, for what will be her third Olympic showing.  

“I’m looking forward to the whole experience – traveling with the team, being in the Olympic village – just being a part of this journey,” Heavirland said.  

Heavirland went to the 2016 Rio Summer Games as a reserve. In 2021, she played for every minute of the Tokyo Games where the team placed sixth. This year, Heavirland has been selected as a reserve.
