What an exciting day! 23 of the USA team climbers advanced to semi-finals. Not official but I believe this is most likely a new team record. Claire Buhrfeind, Margo Hayes, Kai Lightner and Drew Ruana all topped their routes today. A special thanks to all the speed team members who were at the competition today supporting their teammates. Once again we had many USA family and friends supporting our team. I would guess that there were as many Americans as local Canadians in the audience today. Also a BIG thank you to all the coaches who came to support their climbers; Kyle Clinkscales, Stan Borodyansky, Tyson Schoene, Ellis Whitson and Emily Taylor.
ALERT: CHANGE IN SPEED SCHEDULE!
12:00 Youth B speed qualifiers

Just a reminder to parents. All climbers will check out of the dorm on Monday morning, Aug. 19, and arrive at the competition venue with their luggage and belongings that morning. All climbers are strongly encouraged to stay for closing ceremonies and for the athlete after party immediately following closing ceremonies.
Looking forward to cheering on the USA Speed Team tomorrow. Good luck!
