Curling career

Wright made her United States Nationals debut in 1984 and competed on the winning team. Since 1984 she has competed in sixteen more US Nationals, with her last appearance in 2010. In addition to her team's victory in 1984, Wright has also been victorious in 1992 and 2000. She has been a runner-up once and won the Bronze medal at the 2009 Nationals, which doubled as the Olympic Trials for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.

As the United States champion Wright has made three appearances at the Curling World Championships. Her team took ninth at her first worlds in 1984. Eight years later in 1992 she returned to the worlds, winning the silver medal and receiving the Frances Brodie Sportsmanship Award.[2] At the 2000 Glasgow World Championships her team placed sixth with a 4–5 record.

After a seventh-place finish at the 2006 US Nationals Wright announced she would take a break from competitive curling. However, as the Vancouver Olympics neared, she joined Courtney George, Jordan Moulton, and Patti Luke to make an attempt to represent the United States. At the 2010 United States Olympic Curling Trials Wright's team finished in third.
