Christine Killimayer joined the 702.tv team in August of 2008 as the sports reporter and producer. A native of Latrobe, Pennsylvania, she graduated from Ohio University's E.W. Scripps School of Journalism in March of 2007 with a degree in broadcast news.
Prior to moving to Las Vegas, Killimayer worked as a sports anchor and reporter at KTKA in Topeka, Kansas. While in northeast Kansas, she covered the University of Kansas, including the Jayhawks' runs to the Orange Bowl and the Final Four. Her sports coverage also highlighted one of the nation’s best college basketball players at that time: Kansas State's Michael Beasley. Killimayer also reported for "The Drive" -- a KAB-award winning local sports talk show.
During her time at Ohio, Killimayer anchored and reported at WOUB, the PBS affiliate for southeast Ohio, and served as the station's first female sports director. She also reported for "Gridiron Glory", an Emmy-award winning high school football highlight show, and hosted "Bobcat Blitz" -- Ohio University’s coach's show. Killimayer also worked as a sideline reporter for ESPNU.
When not at work, Killimayer remains busy rooting on her Steelers, Panthers, Pirates and Penguins, as well as watching any form of a countdown television show. Her number one priority, though, is to keep coworker, Alex Adeyanju, in line.

In the team and league's debut game, the Las Vegas Locomotives rallied in the second half to beat the California Redwoods 30-17.

For the past eight years, Palo Verde has been setting the trend and perplexing defenses with its double-wing offense and at 6-0 the Panthers plan on riding it to their second-straight state championship appearance.
