The 2011 Lightweight 4x




The lightweight 4x came together over the summer and will represent the USA at the World Championship in Bled, Slovenia August 28 - Sept 4.



Q - How did the 4 of you come to be the lightweight 4x?

A - Hillary Saeger and I were 2x partners at the National Selection Regatta II and finished third behind Kristin/Julie and Abby/Ursula. Lindsey and Katherine finished 4th behind us. So, it was a natural combination as the other two doubles were competing at the World Cup(s).

Q - Why did you train for a few weeks in Washington DC?

A - Katherine and Lindsey are from Seattle and needed to acclimate to the hot, humid east coast weather because trials are in NJ. I originally trained with Potomac Boat Club, before moving to OKC and am still a member, we all have family in the area to host us, and PBC is a US Training Center Partner as is Pocock and Riverside.



Q - What is your goal for Worlds?


A - To bring home a medal of course! (we all have an affinity for gold) (US International Results)


Many thanks to all our coaches, family, host families, and friends that believe in us - without you we wouldn't be here today.
