KYLIE SWEETEN
It became clear after lap one that section 9 would be the decider. Germany led the
Men on lap one with 1 point, USA had 2 and Sweden 4. Our girls held tight and
were within striking distance of the podium all day. In the end our guys finished 3rd
. Sweden snuck by us and Germany held strong in First. Our Ladies were fifth. This
was our best ever result for our Women’s team. We were 8 points off the podium.
We had been fifth before but we had never been that close to the podium before.
Kylee, Maddie and Louise you guys can be proud.
Putting this team on the starting line in a foreign country every year since 1984
(except 9/11) could not happen without the support of the US Trials community.
Many teams get financial support from their National Motorcycling Federation or
their National Government Sporting Departments. Team USA is and always has
been a grass roots effort. Thank you all for supporting Team USA. n
