Marlborough, MA, June 10, 2005 Diamond Machining Technology (DMT) has announced it has adopted Westborough, Massachusetts’ Ashley Hayden, as part of the USA Luge “Adopt-an-Athlete” program. As a long-time backer of USA Luge, DMT is broadening its efforts this year by providing financial support earmarked to assist Ms. Hayden with living, travel and training expenses. DMT’s contribution will enable the reigning World Cup bronze medal winner to focus her attention on preparing for the 2006 Olympics.

“We are incredibly pleased to adopt Ashley and support her upcoming 2005-06 racing season as a senior national USA Luge member,” noted Mark Brandon, president of DMT. “By adopting Hayden, DMT not only aids in her future successes but strengthens its commitment to USA Luge and the Olympic Team.”

Recently named 2005 Female Athlete of the Year by USA Luge, Hayden received her first individual bronze medal at the 2005 World Cup Finale in Winterberg, Germany.
