The pressure wasn’t really on for those of us in the Junior Women’s division, since there were only three of us, and all three of us would make the US Freestyle Team no matter what. It was good competitive bonding with the other two girls though - Lauren Burress, and Kady Kellogg.

Friday was a super chill day for me, and I got to just hang out and watch.
Saturday’s competition was fantastic! It hadn’t rained too much by that time, so the river flow was only slightly above normal. I came away from prelims with a combined score of 473, putting me into first place.
The rain continued all night on Saturday, into Sunday, so by the time that Junior Women competed, the flows were much higher than any of us were used to. Finals weren’t as amazing as they could have been, but I came away with a second place anyway, sticking a sick loop right after my ride ended.
