Play forward and roll on; 3rd at the US Sailing Olympic Trials.

26 races over the course of one week, amongst the best in the country. Falling short of a goal is never the best feeling, but I'm inexpressibly grateful for the last couple of years of training, traveling, working, building relationships, crying, and sweating.

I'm very proud of the work I've put in over the last couple of years and the lead-up I've had to the trials after a successful world championship. It's a nice feeling to look back and know that I controlled the controllables and did as much as I could to ensure success.

There's a long list of people who have helped me so much along this crazy journey. I have an impressive group of individuals backing me day in and day out—too many to mention here. But thank you to Chris Rashley for the best coaching I could've gotten leading up to and during the trials; Alex Milian for keeping my body going and for gluing my foot back together multiple times on short notice after cutting it open against my foil; and huge thanks to all the lovely people at Bommaritos and Force Physical Therapy, who have helped me achieve a high level of fitness that is absolutely crucial in my sport. Thank you to all my friends and family (Mom & Dad), who have always been there for a quick phone call, regardless of where I was in the world. Thank you to all my sponsors and donors who have helped me along the way.

A special thank you to the US Sailing Team and America One Racing. Also, shout out to Dan.

For the time being, I'm going to take some months off, try to finish up school, and at some point, gear up for another campaign toward the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.

A couple of words I've repeated to myself over the tail end of this last quad have been "Play forward, roll on." It's time to do what I know how to do best—play forward and roll on.
