Team trials have officially begun! Team trials consists of a series of four races, two in Lake Placid, New York, and two in Park City, Utah. We are currently in Park City, Utah, about to begin the second round with the final races this Friday and Saturday to decide the World Cup team. Last week in Lake Placid I raced the first race with pilot Jamia Jackson, where we placed second and pushed a new start record- a 5.46, smashing the previous start record by .08 (a huge margin in bobsled)! The second day, I raced with pilot Erin Pac and we pushed the fastest start times of the day, with starts of 5.49 and 5.48, and finished second as well. The top 2 women's pilots will be named to the World Cup team (pilot Shauna Rohbock has already been named to the team), and the races are very close! This week I will race with pilot Bree Schaaf and then with Shauna Rohbock as a pilot sled (not officially in the race). Someone's Olympic dream may begin, or end, this weekend- so stay tuned for the finale!
