Adapting Through Adversity

Published

January 13, 2025

That drastic mobility change steered the 30-year-old athlete onto an entirely different course. Kinzie is now training to ski competitively, seated on a monoski with its single central ski, while setting her sights on the 2026 Winter Paralympic Games in Italy.Career-wise, Kinzie and her husband, Ted, both work at Snowshoe, with Kinzie instructing other adaptive skiers. She’s received grants and launched a GoFundMe campaign to help cover her costs. Whenever possible, she camps in a converted van while training away from home.Competitive adaptive skiing is an expensive sport, costing ,000-,000 a year, depending on the number of races entered, equipment bought and repaired, coaching and travel.
While a student fitness instructor at EKU’s Recreation Center and working with different abilities, Kinzie advocated for disability rights, access and opportunities. Seeing those issues now from a personal viewpoint, Kinzie is on a mission.However, her second lesson on initiating turns didn’t go as well.“I want to break down barriers to get more sponsorships for adaptive sports and create steppingstones for the next generation of adaptive athletes,” she said.RICHMOND — Mackinzie Dickman (Kinzie Houston, ’16) says there’s nothing like the thrill of sailing down a ski slope, feeling free as she fearlessly navigates through challenging courses at 30-60 mph.While she’s had to learn to “do life differently,” Kinzie says, “Everyone has adversity in their lives. You just have to learn how to overcome those challenges in your own way.”Kinzie has also set goals for herself to test the limits of what she’s capable of accomplishing. “Every day in training, I try new things. I don’t ever want to stay in the same spot and become stagnant,” she said.This was a game changer that meant taking risks, tackling new territory for herself and paving the way as a role model for others in the disabled community and athletes who are competing in adaptive sports.“I realized that if I didn’t address my trauma, I risked a downward spiral,” she said. “Luckily enough, I knew how to use resources from my education background and pull myself out of that hole.”After eight months of intensive therapies, adjusting to her new capabilities and moving to West Virginia, Kinzie contacted Challenged Athletes of West Virginia in the winter of 2020. She said she felt ready to return to Snowshoe Mountain, where she’d snowboarded regularly while attending EKU.Afterward, she said, “My body was sore, I was tired, and I mentally needed a break.”But Kinzie persevered. By the fifth attempt, “something clicked.” and by the ninth try, Kinzie went from the “green” beginner level to tackling “black diamond” (steep, more advanced) to “terrain park,” which includes jumps and rails—all in a single weekend.

“Going down the mountain, digging into the snow, I feel connected, in control,” Kinzie said.Kinzie’s rapidly developing skills caught the attention of the head coach at the National Sports Center for the Disabled, who invited her to complete the extremely demanding six-month winter training in Winter Park, Colorado.But Kinzie stays focused on her training goals. During the offseason, she lifts weights and rides an adaptive mountain bike “which has a similar turn motion” to her monoski. She also pays close attention to her diet to help build muscle.“Some think you can’t jump on a sit ski, but I took charge and just did it,” Kinzie said.“I fell a lot. I cried a lot,” she said.Kinzie credits her public health degree from EKU with aiding in her recovery and moving forward with her new life-changing goal.“Going down a mountain with 40-plus gates in one and a half minutes requires a lot of cardio to keep it up,” Kinzie said.“They mentioned my coachability, positive attitude, personality—smiley, bubbly, happy—and that I’m passionate about skiing,” she said.Although the Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) public health graduate from Ohio had been skiing, snowboarding and wakeboarding with her family for fun since she was 2 years old, injuries from a 2017 car crash resulted in Kinzie becoming a wheelchair user by 2019.Kinzie is already setting records. In February 2022, after successfully campaigning to add an adaptive category to the 1.5-mile Cupp Run Challenge downhill race, she was the first in that category to complete Snowshoe’s longest run.Family and friends cheer Kinzie on, and she also receives messages from former EKU professors who follow her progress and offer encouragement. “EKU is a family,” she said.In December 2022, Kinzie received a scholarship to attend race camp in Colorado. She was told that with the proper equipment and opportunities, she had the qualities to be a competitive racer.During her first lesson, Kinzie strapped herself into a rented monoski with its chair-like seat, held outriggers (adaptive ski poles) in both hands to assist with balance and initiating turns, then maneuvered through the beginner slope with ease, exclaiming, “This sport is great. I love it!”

Texas A&M vs. Louisville volleyball final score, stats, highlights

Updated Dec. 12, 2025, 10:12 p.m. ET

After dropping the first two sets, No. 3 seed Texas A&M (25-4) stormed back to beat No. 2 seed Louisville (26-6) 3-2 in the NCAA women’s volleyball tournament Friday night.

Texas A&M moves on to play Sunday against either No. 1 Nebraska or No. 4 Kansas, who play at 9:30 p.m. ET Friday night. Here’s how the Sweet 16 heavyweight match played out:

Final score for Louisville vs. Texas A&M women’s volleyball

FINAL: Texas A&M wins 3-2, taking final set 15-12.

Set 5: Texas A&M 3, Louisville 2

No. 3 Texas A&M completed a reverse sweep against No. 2 Louisville to advance to the regional final for the first time since 2001 after winning the fifth set, 15-12. The Aggies were able to swing the momentum of the game with their blocking ability, led by Ifenna Cos-okpalla’s 12 total blocks.

Texas A&M’s Logan Lednicky (20 kills, 10 digs on .245 hitting), Kyndal Stowers (16 kills, 11 digs on .282 hitting) and Emily Hellmuth (12 kills on .226 hitting) each recorded double-digit kills.

“We just weren’t finishing the last end of the set,” said an emotional Lednicky, who was three blocks away from a triple double. “We’re like, we’re not letting them sweep us. We know how to grind, we know how to dig it. We saw it in the TCU match and we did just that last one.”

Tensions boiled over in the fifth set. Louisville head coach Dan Meske earned a yellow card for swatting the ball because he thought the referee missed a carry call during a long rally Texas A&M won to go up 12-10.

Louisville’s Chloe Chicoine finished with a game-high 26 kills hitting .300 in the loss.

Set 4: Louisville 2, Texas A&M 2

No. 3 Texas A&M took a 17-8 lead after holding No. 2 Louisville to a -.143 hitting percentage to start the fourth set with its defensive prowess. The Aggies stretched their lead to as many as nine points, but Louisville went on a 7-1 run to come within three points of Texas A&M. The Aggies didn’t relinquish the lead this time. Texas A&M finished the fourth set on a 4-0 run to force a decisive fifth set.

Texas A&M held Louisville to .000 hitting in the fourth set. The Aggies hit .267 and recorded nine blocks. Texas A&M’s Logan Lednicky (18 kills on .333 hitting), Kyndal Stowers (14 kills on .243 hitting) and Emily Hellmuth (10 kills on .200 hitting) each have double-digit kills. Ifenna Cos-okpalla is up to 11 blocks.

The Aggies are going for the reverse sweep, the team’s first since September 2024.

Set 3: Louisville 2, Texas A&M 1

No. 3 Texas A&M head coach Jamie Morrison said his team needed to do a better job at finishing at the end of the set if they wanted to extend their season against No. 2 Louisville after giving up leads in the first two sets. The Aggies did just that in a third set that featured 15 ties and five lead changes.

The Aggies had a 23-21 lead in the third set before Louisville tied it up at 23-23 following back-to-back kills from Chloe Chicoine. Texas A&M’s Kyndal Stowers responded with a pair of kills herself to give the Aggies the set, 25-23.

Texas A&M’s Logan Lednicky (14 kills on .333 hitting), Stowers (11 kills on .259 hitting) and Emily Hellmuth (10 kills on .261) each have double-digit kills as the team is collectively hitting .292.

Meanwhile, Chicoine is up to 19 kills on .405 hitting. Cara Cresse added seven blocks.

Set 2: Louisville 2, Texas A&M 0

New set, same scenario. Much like the first set, Texas A&M was the first team to reach 15 points. The Aggies had a 21-16 lead in the second set, before Louisville staged another comeback. The Cardinals went on a 9-1 run to take the lead and clinch the second set, 25-22, to take a 2-0 lead over Texas A&M.

Louisville capitalized on 14 total blocks and three aces. Chloe Chicoine (11 kills on .400 hitting) and Payton Petersen (10 kills on .563 hitting) led the Cardinals in kills.

Logan Lednicky has nine kills, while Emily Hellmuth and Kyndal Stowers each have seven kills for Texas A&M.

Set 1: Louisville 1, Texas A&M 0

No. 3 Texas A&M had control of the first set and was the first team to 15 points, but No. 2 Louisville went on a 5-0 run to tie it up at 17-17. Five more ties ensued before Louisville ultimately created some separation to take the first set, 25-23. Louisville hit .457 and had two players with six or more kills — Payton Petersen (seven kills on .778 hitting) and Chloe Chicoine (six kills on .600 hitting).

Chargers’ Townsend breaks G-MAC record at Akron Haynes Lancaster Open

December 13, 2025

Your Sports Nation

One of the Hillsdale College women’s track and field team’s top competitors unwrapped a nice early Christmas present for herself on Friday afternoon.

Senior Tara Townsend traveled solo to the Akron Haynes Lancaster Open, looking to get one final crack at her signature event, the pole vault, before heading off to Christmas break.

The trip proved more than fruitful for Townsend, as she cleared three bars on the first attempt to set a new personal best clearance of 4.20 meters, and in the process breaking the Great Midwest Athletic Conference indoor record in the event of 4.16 meters held by Morgan England of Findlay since 2021.

Townsend placed second behind defending MAC pole vault champion Cassidy Allen of Akron at the meet, and with the vault moved into the top spot in the nation in NCAA DII to date in the event.

It’s the latest in a successful run at Hillsdale for Townsend, who earned her first All-American honor in the pole vault at the 2025 NCAA DII Outdoor Championships this past May. Her latest accomplishment sees her closing in on the indoor program record of 4.25 meters, held by multi-time All-American and Hillsdale College Athletics Hall of Famer Kayla Caldwell since 2013.

Townsend and the Chargers are off for the Christmas break, and will return to Akron for the Al Campbell Invitational for their first meet back in action on Jan. 16.

No. 2 seed Louisville volleyball fell to No. 3 seed Texas A&M in five sets Friday night at Bob Devaney Sports Center in Lincoln, Nebraska, ending the Cardinals’ season.

The Cardinals finished Dan Meske’s inaugural campaign as head coach 26-7 in Lincoln, where Meske’s collegiate coaching career began as a graduate assistant for the Cornhuskers 18 years ago.

Louisville earned several American Volleyball Coaches Association awards for its performance in the tournament’s first weekend. Four Cardinals made the All-South Region first team: Kalyssa Blackshear (OPP), Nayelis Cabello (S), Chloe Chicoine (OH) and Cara Cresse (MB). Outside hitter Payton Petersen received an honorable mention.

Coverage from the match:

The Cards fall in a reverse sweep to the Aggies.

There have been seven ties in this winner-take-all set. The first to 15, winning by two, advances to the regional final.

Louisville will play its second five-set match in the NCAA Tournament, as it looks to avoid a reverse sweep. Texas A&M had nine blocks alone in the fourth set to UofL’s three.

The Aggies come out strong in a must-win set. They’ve caught up to Louisville’s 12 blocks. Texas A&M has 54 kills to UofL’s 50. The Aggies take a 4-0 run into the media timeout.

In a set that featured 15 ties and four lead changes, the Aggies emerged victorious. If Texas A&M claims the fourth set, both teams will engage in a fifth winner-take-all set, where the first to 15 points (winning by two) will advance to the regional final.

Chicoine has a match-high 15 kills. The Cards have 10 blocks, led by Cresse’s seven.

Louisville clinches the second set with an 8-0 run, featuring two aces from setter Nayelis Cabello. The Cards are one set away from their fifth consecutive Elite Eight appearance. Petersen and Blackshear now have 11 and 10 kills apiece.

The Aggies are the first to 15 again behind a 3-0 scoring run just before the set’s first media timeout. Louisville’s defense is playing tough with six blocks. Petersen is up to a match-high nine kills.

The Cardinals had a well-timed 5-0 scoring run in the middle of the set, taking the lead at 21-20 for the first time since the first point of the match. Payton Petersen leads all players with seven kills (at a 77.8% clip), followed by Chloe Chicoine’s six (60%). Cara Cressee has three blocks.

The Aggies have 10 kills on 15 attempts. Payton Petersen and Kalyssa Blackshear lead Louisville with three kills apiece of the Cards’ eight total.
