Today Kaydi, Courtney, Anna, and Kensa had their K1 runs down the Krakow course. The U23 started the day with a field of 49 paddlers. The girls had to place in the top 20 to go thru to the semis in their first runs. They all got a second run down in the afternoon to try and qualify but didn’t quite make the top 10. Courtney placed 39th and 19th, Kaydi placed 46th and 20th and Anna placed 44th in her first run and had a solid second run, paddling well placing her in 17th place.
Kensa had a big long day! Her first run placed her in 31st place. She was a bit like Zac and Callum yesterday racking up a few too many touches. She had a nice run time of 98.64 seconds which was close to the 6th place holder but with the addition of 12 penalties she ranked a bit lower on the scoreboard. Her second run was hard to get started. The weather came in with a bit of wind and rain then the river lowered and the race had to be delayed. Twice! About 8 racers started their second runs but had to re-run them once the water came back up again. Kensa had a solid run and it looked like she was all go for the semis placing 9th ….the flag was waving and the teammates were cheering..until they made a video review to find she had 50 gate 13. Bad luck.
