International competitions, and to guide placement onto the Canadian
National Team.
Coach Garth Hebert adds:
"This
upcoming season is exciting for myself for many reasons. Firstly we have some
new members on board to help with management and fundraising camps which will
be a huge help to the team. Welcome aboard Kristen Kawa (Team Manager), Andrew
McElheran (Assistant Manager), And Wendy Vandenhoven (Camp Coach). Returning
is Garth Hebert (Team Coach) and Nicoline Hebert (Team Trainer). With all the
listed help above this will be a huge resource to our team this upcoming
season.
Secondly
after finishing a great season ending with Tulsa as our final project, the whole team
walked away from the year with some great results. We had 20 riders making it to
their quarter finals which was amazing. Three Ladies making it to main events and
some male riders going as far as Semi's.
This
all could not have happened if it was not for the great contributions of Dale
Tuchscherer, Kristen Kawa, and all our great sponsors for 2013.
Our
new team of managers and coaches all bring some great ideas and plans for the
2014 season that we can't wait to put into action. Looking forward to working
hard at making even faster riders in 2014."
The ABA would like to congratulate all of the athletes chosen to represent our Province on this year's team, and thank all of those who applied. We look forward to another exciting year of racing.
