Biography

Aileen Geving (born February 13, 1987 as Aileen Sormunen) is an American curler from Duluth, Minnesota. She represented the United States on the women's curling team at the 2018 Winter Olympics and earned her first national championship in 2020.

Career

Geving began curling in 1996. She was a national junior champion in 2004 and 2007.

Geving skipped a team at the 2005 United States Olympic Curling Trials and qualified for the playoffs in fourth place, but lost her page playoffs game against Patti Lank. She also competed at the 2010 United States Olympic Curling Trials, but finished outside of the playoffs at fifth place. She then played as third for Patti Lank at the 2010 United States Women's Curling Championship, and finished as the runner-up to Erika Brown.

Geving skipped her own team at the 2011 and 2012 United States Women's Curling Championships, finishing sixth and fourth, respectively. She and her then-third Courtney George switched positions the next year, and finished second at the 2013 United States Women's Curling Championship. Consequently, she and her team were selected to participate at the 2014 United States Olympic Curling Trials by the United States Curling Association's High Performance Program committee.

At the 2020 United States Women's Championship Geving earned her first national title, as lead for Tabitha Peterson. In the round-robin Team Peterson's only loss came against Jamie Sinclair but they then beat Team Sinclair in the 1 vs. 2 page playoff game and again in the final.As United States Champions Team Peterson would have represented the United States at the 2020 World Women's Curling Championship, but they lost that opportunity when the Championship was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They also earned a spot at the final Grand Slam of the season, the Champions Cup, which was also cancelled due to the pandemic. Their qualification will instead carry over to the 2021 Champions Cup.

During the 2020 off-season the team announced that Tabitha Peterson would remain as skip when Roth returned from maternity leave. Roth will re-join the team as vice-skip at third, with Hamilton moving to second, Tara Peterson to lead, and Geving to alternate.

Personal life

Geving has a degree in organizational management from the University of Minnesota Duluth. She is currently a business insurance client executive. She is married to Garrett Geving, and has one daughter.
