We did it! Thanks to all of you who stepped in and helped us pull off 2 great races at Snowbasin. Over the past week, I have received numerous phone calls and emails regarding the success of our program. These comments are a sign of our hard work and determination as a TEAM. Individuals have commented on our parent support group, coaching staff commitment, and athlete performance. I wanted to pass this information along to you, as a member of a continuously growing program. I'm so excited to build off of our current success and path the way for the future of our program. Please accept my appreciation for your TEAM support.
