She was thrilled with the result she achieved and said it couldn’t have been done without her Nordiq Canada and uOttawa Nordiq teammates.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better coaching staff, wax support, and teammates,” she said.
What was the best part besides competing around the world?
“”It had to be meeting many inspiring athletes and having endless support from friends, family, and teams back home here in Canada.”
“The cherry on top for the season was coming home with third overall in the season standings.”
