Gould Academy Names Campus Center for Lieblein Family
Gould Academy has named an important athletic center in the heart of its campus the Lieblein Performance Center for the family of Robert and Kelly Lieblein. This exciting advancement was made possible by a generous gift allowing for improvements and completion of the center this winter. The center is located on the lower level of Ordway Hall.
Rob and Kelly Lieblein are the parents of Gould alumnae Cassie ’18 and Maddy ’20, who were competitive alpine ski racers at Gould. Cassie is currently skiing Division 1 at Colby College. Maddy is participating in club soccer and ski patrol at Middlebury College.
More than half of Gould’s student body passes through the center daily as they prepare for, and return from, outdoor activities. Students enter Ordway Hall to visit the dining hall, then proceed to the Performance Center on the lower level to gather their ski gear, get on their bikes, or use the tuning or workshop facilities. Coaches' offices and athletic training spaces are conveniently located in the space as well.
Additional work on the Coaches' offices and athletic training will be completed this winter, and a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Lieblein Performance Center will take place during Spring Family Weekend, April 21-23, 2023.

Congratulations to Blake Wilson '13!
He was 2nd place at the Kings & Queens of Corbet's in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Kings & Queens of Corbet's brings the world’s top skiers and snowboarders to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort’s couloir.
Blake grew up skiing at Sunday River Resort. His love of skiing led him to compete in mogul skiing and slopestyle at Gould. When he stopped competing, he found an affinity for big mountain terrain after seeing its potential in Utah. Blake won the 2019 Level 1 SuperUnknown contest and was able to ski among legends in ski films from Level 1, TGR, and Faction Skis, among others. He currently calls Salt Lake City, UT home where he enjoys skiing and producing content with friends.
