Growing up, the last thing Ellen Geddes wanted to hear was “no.”“I don’t believe in that word,” she said. “That’s not for me. Ellens don’t do ‘no.’”For her first 23 years, that mentality made Geddes “horrifically stubborn.” In the 13 years since, people call her “tenacious.”Nothing about her personality has changed, to be sure. But the way people described her flipped after a 2011 car crash resulted in a complete spinal cord injury that left her paralyzed from the waist down.

Four years after graduating, it’s probably safe to say that Grace Norman’s life looks a little different than those of her nursing school classmates. “I’m married to a jazz trumpet player, and so I’m trying to be a good wife to him and support his career,” she said. And then, of course, there’s her full-time job: training for the Paralympics. The actual nursing career will come. For now, Norman remains one of world’s most successful paratriathletes.

Take a moment and think back to the 1996 Olympics. What do you remember? It might be Muhammad Ali, his body trembling as he lights the cauldron. Or Kerri Strug, on one leg, stoically saluting the judges. Perhaps it’s the Olympic debuts of beach volleyball, softball, and women’s soccer.

Hampton Morris approaches every weightlifting competition with a simple goal: have fun and make lifts. As it turns out, when he does one of those things, the other seems to follow.
