Notre Dame sophomore Luke Mullis is pictured in Traverse City, Mich., during last year’s ‘Iceman’ race. He ran the last six miles of the race on foot after his bike broke down and still finished 43rd in his age class. Around 4,000 amateur and professional racers in various age categories participate in the event.
Over 4,000 racers will take part in the race.
Although he is the youngest of the Notre Damers, Kreger is by far the most experienced mountain bike rider. He finished in fourth place in the recent Michigan State Scholastic Championship mountain bike race at Lake Orion High school. Last year, he placed 27th in the Iceman. The highlight of Luke Mullis' season was winning a silver medal at the National Track Championships in Trexlertown, Pennsylvania. Last year, he finished 43rd in the Iceman even though he had to run the last six miles on foot after breaking his bike. Kreger and Luke Mullis also played together on NDP's JV soccer team this past season.
Danielle Mullis earned a National Championship at Track Nationals this year and last year placed fifth in the Iceman.
