Caitlin Pulli and her team of Jeff Pulli, Rebecca Andrew, and Jason Scott had a dramatic last-shot win at the USA Curling Mixed Fours Championship last spring. Now, Caitlin and her team are heading to Aberdeen, Scotland, to represent the country at the World Mixed Championship.

Caitlin is the first female skip to lead a team to the USA Curling Mixed Nationals title. Of course, as she points out in our conversation, her championship team also includes the first male players at third and lead, and the first female player at second.

I had a chance to watch this team win the title at their home club in Rochester, and I was impressed by their chemistry on the ice. We're looking forward to following them throughout the World Championship.
