As a downhill and Super-G specialist, Sullivan has shown a penchant for speed that former men's Head Coach Bill Egan has seen before. "He has such a great touch for speed," Egan said. "You can see the way he makes a turn, how fast he comes out of turns and he has such good fundamentals...and he came to the Ski Team like that. He was so well-coached as a kid and he has such joy in his skiing. Tommy [Moe] used to have that; I see a lot of Tommy in Marco's skiing."
"It was a good season at the national level but I'm ready for bigger and better things."
