The support the parents show myself and our staff is tremendous. I’d also like to thank Lauren Schmidt (Stanford/Team USA), Laurel Vanthof (Adrian College), Christian Pompoco and Thomas Sarjeant (Westminster) for an excellent weekend of coaching and the Sandstorm staff for organizing another fun event for the kids.”
