Green Bay, Wis., July 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Though associates at Schneider (NYSE: SNDR), a premier provider of trucking, intermodal and logistics services, embrace the company’s trademark orange color, they will be cheering for red,\u00a0white\u00a0and blue as Krysta Palmer competes in the Tokyo Olympics.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Krysta, a member of Team USA Diving, is the daughter of Schneider professional driver Mitch Palmer and his wife, Vicki of Carson City, Nevada.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since a young age, Krysta has always been a talented athlete. She narrowly missed making the 2016 U.S. Diving Team, she continued training in hopes of making the 2020 Olympics \u2013 and now the 2021 team, after the pandemic pushed the games back a year.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We are so proud of Krysta,” said Vicki. “She has put in an extraordinary amount of time and effort to make her dream of being an Olympian come true. It’s truly a remarkable story, and I guess the moral is never, ever give up.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last month, Schneider routed the Palmers to Indianapolis so they could be in the stands as their daughter qualified for the U.S. Olympic Diving Team in the 3m\u00a0Synchronized\u00a0Springboard and\u00a03m\u00a0Individual\u00a0Springboard events.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The Olympics are always exciting to watch but to have one of our own to cheer for makes these games even more special,” said Mark Rourke,\u00a0president\u00a0and CEO of Schneider.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We have been so blessed in what Schneider has done for us and what they have allowed us to do,” said Vicky. “Krysta competes all over the country, and we have been able to attend most of her competitions over the last few years.”\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Because of COVID-19 restrictions, Mitch and Vicki cannot travel to Tokyo and will instead watch Krysta compete from\u00a0back home. Their Schneider family is also rallying around the driving and diving Palmers:\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
