The 2007 USASA Nationals went down at Northstar, and the Gnu Girls were charging.
Women's Open Halfpipe: Congratulations to Lizzy Beerman for taking the gold on the B-Nice mtx, and Kaitlyn Farrington for pushing that competition to a new level and landing in 5th on the B-Pro. These girls are the future, and getting better everyday. Look out! Both Lizzy and Kaitlyn rode well in slopestyle too, with Lizzy in 5th and Kaitlyn 13th. I had the pleasure of watching these girls ride, and they have so much natural style... I'm inspired.
Youth Women HP:
Millie Chapman really well in a huge field of girls and placed 8th on the B-Street. Millie is an east coast charger not afraid of ice... or the 6 inches of slush that was on the courses at Northstar. She charged all week and placed 6th in Slalom too.
Caty Oconnor got 2nd in the Slalom. I took some runs through the park with Caty and she rules. Rides the B-pro and is So smooth. She knows how to use her edges and race, I like that. But, she also knows how to ride rails, boxes, and avoid her edges like I wish I could.
Good job Girls!
