UVU student, Brianna (Bri) Bocox studies Forensic Science when she is not on the ice training for Olympic glory as a long track speed skater. In the 2018 Olympic trials she took 9^th in both the 1,000m and 1,500m. In February 2019 she took home 3 Gold medals at the Four Continents Championship in Milwaukee for the 1,000m, 1,500m and the women’s team pursuit. Bri continues her training with Team USA in Salt Lake City, looking towards the 2022 Olympics in Beijing. 

布里把她的成功归功于家人和教练的支持。 She stresses the value of a strong will and mental toughness, paired with faith in God, for pushing her to the top. 她的内联教练教给她一句话：“控制你能控制的； 上帝会控制其余的。” She sports these words as a tattoo, which helps guide her in challenging times.

 布里喜欢挑战。 She says stress makes her sharper and able to push herself harder. “在冰上滑冰很大程度上是技术的问题。 它必须完美无缺。” She applies her skills and mental focus to her educational pursuits as well. “Forensics has always been fascinating to me. It’s a job where I can help solve crimes without being directly in the line of action.”
