Just off the first two stops of the U.S. SuperTour, and it looks like there are a few who are really ready to go. Kuzzy, Cook, Southam, Brooks and Trygstad-Saari come to mind. Chambo is climbing, clawing his way up. He's got the mindset. He's got the fitness. Right now, he just needs the cards to fall in his favor. Two classic races to date, failing wax and sickness took just enough off. But, he's almost there.
Kline flew in to Bozeman 36 hours before the sprint qualifier and threw down one of his best domestic finishes, ever. Looked good doing it. Progress comes in small increments. It is the long-term accumulation of those increments that add up to the meters and minutes that we need. Just ask APU--who heard of Holly Brooks 4 years ago? Brent Knight? Becca Rorabaugh? It takes years of doing it right. APU is now in it's 11th year of constant elite programming aimed at international success.
We are moving in the right direction--quickly. It won't take 5 more years for MWSC to put a Maine native on the World Cup. Mark my words. We're closer than you think.
