August 22, 2007 -- Marietta, GA
I'm extremely proud of our 2007 USA Wildwater Teams and their performance at the 2007 World Cups and the Junior World
Championships.
Our Junior Team earned a total of 3 medals at the Jr. Worlds in Team Races.
- In the K-1W Team Sprint Race, Tierney O'Sullivan, Sarah Kunz and Anna Pierotti won a World Championship Bronze Medal.
- In the C-1 Team race Craig Adams, Cody Beach and Logan Hartle won bronze medals in both the Sprint and the Classic races.
At the World Cups, the Senior Team was also quite successful
- In K-1W, Jeanie Goldberg placed 6th in the Sprint Race in Ivera ITA.
- In C-1, Tom Wier continues to improve and is within a few percentage of being a serious medal contender. He ranked in
the top ten in the World Cups.
Due to the continued support and generosity of our sponsors, USA Wildwater is continuing to get better at supporting our
athletes with housing, some basic coaching, etc. We are thrilled to be able to provide Performance Funding totaling $3000
to help our athletes offset their expenses and hope to GROW the program. And it is exciting to see two of our Juniors
qualify for funding!
Please congratulate our eight athletes who earned funding for there results in international competition in 2007:
