Cameron A. Myler has competed on four U.S. Olympic Teams in the sport of luge: 1998 in Nagano, Japan; 1994 in Lillehammer, Norway; 1992 in Albertville, France; and 1988 in Calgary, Canada. She holds seven U.S. national luge titles and was named the U.S. Luge Association's Female Athlete of the Year nine times. During her athletic career, she held more than 30 U.S. records at tracks around the world and is considered to be the most successful female luge athlete in U.S. history. She was inducted into the Hall of Fame of the National Association for Sport and Physical Education in 1998. After winning the 1986 U.S. Luge National Championships for the first time at the age of 16, Myler seriously injured her left knee while skiing. She immediately had surgery to repair ligament damage. Over the next few years she had two arthroscopic surgeries and a procedure to remove a staple from her tibia. While participating in biomechanical testing for luge in the late '80s, Myler subluxed both of her shoulders. She sustained several additional shoulder injuries and underwent a Bankart procedure on her right shoulder in 1992. During preseason training in 1993, she dislocated her left shoulder. After intensive rehabilitation, Myler won the last World Cup race of the season and then competed in the Olympic Games in Lillehammer, Norway. Myler had a Bankart procedure performed on her left shoulder in 1994. She went on to compete in her fourth Olympic Games in 1998. Myler served as a representative on the U.S. Olympic Committee's Athletes' Advisory Council for eight years and was a member of the USOC Board of Directors from 1996-2003. In 2003 she was appointed to the USOC Governance and Ethics Task Force and testified before Congress regarding proposed changes to the USOC's governance structure. After retiring from competition, Myler attended Boston College Law School where she received her law degree in 2001.
