FALCON HEIGHTS, Minn.–SPIRE Credit Union has entered into a partnership with U.S. speedskater Greta Myers, a Minnesota native who is a long-time member.
As part of the new partnership, Myers will be featured in advertisements beginning this fall.
“Originally from Lino Lakes, Minnesota, SPIRE said Myers discovered ice skating at the age of two and joined her first hockey team a few years later. At age 13, she was exposed to speedskating and immediately discovered that her strengths aligned with the sport’s demands,” SPIRE said. “After juggling both hockey and speedskating for two years, she committed to speedskating and quickly rose to become the top Junior Female in the United States, and one of the top-ranked Junior skaters in the world.”
In 2022, Myers qualified for the US Senior World Cup Team and traveled to Norway, the Netherlands, Calgary, and Poland to compete. That same year, she won four medals at the Junior World Championships in Germany, including a silver medal in the Women’s All-Around distances.
First in 20 Years
SPIRE said the recognition earned Myers the title of becoming the first American woman in 20 years to earn a podium finish in the women’s All-Around. She has also since joined the U.S speedskating team and will skate at the Olympic Training Facility in Utah.
“I am excited to represent SPIRE because as a longtime member, I know how SPIRE treats people,” said Myers in a statement. “Aligning with a company that truly cares about helping others achieve their goals and dreams is a natural fit for me.”
‘Thrilled to Partner’
Added SPIRE President/CEO Dan Stoltz, “We are thrilled to partner with Greta. She is a talented young leader who exemplifies the values that align with SPIRE.”
Myers is now seeking to qualify again for the Senior World Cup Team and ultimately to represent the U.S. at the 2026 Olympics.
