SHARE NOW

Olivia Maslyn, the first associate New York State Dairy Ambassador represented New York State dairy farmers at The Armory Track & Field Center in New York City as part of American Dairy Association North East’s sponsorship of the Refuel with Chocolate Milk Officials Hall of Fame Invitational, January 10-11, 2025.

Maslyn, of Farmington, was named First Associate Dairy Ambassador late last February.

Over 8,000 student-athletes participated in the two-day track meet, which coincided with National Milk Day on Saturday, January 11.

As guests of American Dairy Association North East, Maslyn enjoyed a private tour of the facility, famously known as the “Fastest Track in the World.” They were also recognized during the opening ceremony and participated in events, including presenting awards and holding the finish line tape for several races.

“Coming from a farm, The Armory is definitely a different experience,” said Maslyn. “It’s one thing walking through New York City – which many dairy farmers might not get this experience. But walking into The Armory, with so much history, was really cool. The Armory staff was so welcoming to us and truly made everything so special.”

Through a partnership with The Armory, dairy farmers, represented by the American Dairy Association North East, promote chocolate milk as the ultimate post-exercise recovery beverage. In addition to sponsoring the Refuel with Chocolate Milk Officials Hall of Fame Invitational, the association engages athletes through branding, signage, and chocolate milk sampling. They also sponsor the Refuel Zone at The Armory, where athletes and spectators can purchase chocolate milk to recharge after competition.
