Biographical Information
Caleb Furnell played soccer and ran track in high school, growing up in Lee's Summit, Missouri. Furnell attended Utah Valley University, specializing in sprints from 2019 to 2024.
After finishing his track and field career at Utah Valley, he figured his athletic career was over when a friend called him to say there was a bobsled combine and that Furnell should try out. Furnell made the U.S. national team and, within the following year, was on the U.S. World Cup team as a push athlete.
Off the ice, Furnell and his wife Brynlee has a number of pets all with racing-themed names like their dog Lewis, named after Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton.
