Braving sleet and snow, 25 athletes competed to make the Junior Wildwater team. The Animas River was rocking and rolling at 2080 CSF as paddlers ran the classic race on Saturday, May 5. Lucas Palko-Schraa raced to a gold medal and secured a spot on the team for K-1 men. Sarah Kunz paddled hard for a silver medal and her place on the team for K-1 women. Laura Adams took gold in the event, but she already qualified for the team at the Eastern Team Trials.
The sprint event on Sunday, May 6 also saw stiff competition. Sarah Kunz paddled to a first place finish, adding glitter to her accomplishments of the previous day. Anna Pierotti’s silver medal finish earned her the second spot on the team for K-1 women. Lucas Palko-Schraa took his second gold for the event, with Alex Dodge paddling in the silver medal position. That finish earned Dodge the final spot on the team for K-1 men.
