Congratulations to all of the team! Thank you so much for the support from families and friends. Each rider had a great competition with successful results and lots of improvement. We are proud of you all.

Christine was with her students every step of the way though this competition and had designed most of the freestyles. Each of these freestyles won or placed at the state championships. Thank you Christine for your dedication and support at the competition and over the past couple of the weeks/months/years. It is very much appreciated.
