Favorite Part About CBC:
The way this team shows up for each other, on and off the water, is something | will never take for granted. The culture here is like no other because of the relentless effort every girl puts into their athletic performance and team environment. I am lucky to be surrounded by girls and coaches who work daily to bring the best out of the entire team.
