This original group of women were not only skilled river runners and former guides on the Colorado, Salmon, Gauley, Arkansas, and Lochsaw rivers, they were a group of women following their other passions in life. Mothers, artists, engineers, dancers, outdoor enthusiasts all with a common goal. All are incredible athletes that came together to make quite an impact in their first appearance at the National Competition on the Clackamas River. These women have competitive spirit and hoped to increase the participation of women in whitewater raft racing. As the team continues to morph, we continue to strive to be competitive regionally and nationally, increase exposure of whitewater raft racing-specifically for women, increase women's participation in this great sport, and be positive female role models.
