Greg Echlin—Free Lance Sportswriter
No stranger to covering golf’s major championships, Greg Echlin recalled being at the U.S. Open in 1995 on Long Island when a Stanford University amateur named Tiger Woods was in the field. He also covered Nebraska’s biggest golf event ever in 2013 when the Omaha Country Club played host the first time to the U.S. Senior Open. Thinking back, if only Mutual of Omaha-sponsored Fred Funk could have won instead of finishing runner-up! Greg also covers grassroots stories that hit close to home and, in June, was awarded first place by the Public Media Journalists Association (PMJA) for the “Best Sports Feature” among cities of comparable market size on a 2023 baseball story. Greg is based in Kansas City, but when he’s not covering the Chiefs in the Super Bowl as he did last February for nine days in Las Vegas, he continues to make trips to Omaha for some of the city’s biggest sports events. He counts himself as a fan of Omaha.

She has loved spending her “Brat Summer” being the editorial intern for Omaha Magazine and is excited to keep working at the publication.
