“We had a couple injury scares today, so we were a pretty depleted team out there and that showed in our placing. I don’t want that to take away from some great racing by ladies like Emma, Kylie and Bryar, who all stepped up and did their best to get the team through. This is a tough team and we’ll be ready when the races really count.” says Coach Latter.
