BRANDY RICHARDS
Brandy Richards finished second individually among
the women and led the US Women’s Trophy Team to
its first win since 2007 when the GoFasters.com team
made up of Nicole Bradford, Lacy Jones and Amanda
Mastin won
“It was incredible,: said Richards. “We were all sing-
ing the national anthem. Everyone was just so happy.
It was like nothing I’ve ever been a part of. It was
incredible.
“I absolutely want to go back again. I want to win it
in the individual class. So for me, I want to push a little
bit harder just to do that. But I’m excited after just
winning one. I want to repeat. I want to keep it going.
Brandy led all women after the first two days, and
eventually finished second individually behind Ger-
man Maria Franke.
“I won day one and day two, and then on day three
I only lost by four seconds so I was still kind of leading
it.,” said Richards.”Then day four, that’s when I really
fell behind. I also won day five and six.
“Maria had a kid I think last year so she was kind of
not racing too much and then this year she’s been
getting back into it. She was extremely consistent. I’m
so impressed with how consistent she was.” n
