Notable
Mary Dooley is known as the "small wood diva." She started in the sport in the early 70's at Paul Smith College, but almost all of her experience is on smaller wood than what is used in the Great Outdoor Games. This mother of four has kept her competitive fuels fired over the last 30 years by competing in local and regional events, but now that her kids are grown, she is back in the game.

Quotable
"I'm turning 50 the day before the Games start. I'm realistic about things. I mean I'm not going to go away with my tail between my legs - I'm training hard. But I'm realistic."
