Here is the short version of what happened at the race this past weekend. I would post the long version but I just arrived in Germany and it’s past my bedtime.
In the women’s race Justine Whipple dominated and brought home the USA’s first World University Championship gold medal. She also lead the way to a bronze medal in the women’s team standings along with Amanda Felder (20th), Jennifer Speildenner (22nd), and Lauren Goldstein-Kral (27th). Spain won the gold and Great Britain took silver.
Our men’s team brought home the silver medal in the team standings with my sixth place finish, Steve Sexton in seventh, Barrett Brandon in 15th, Ethan Brown in 28th and Greg Billington in 34th. Switzerland won the gold and Poland surprised everyone winning the bronze.
This race is definitely worthy of a detailed race report – I’ll post that soon!
