Dear friends, family, and supporters,
After the 2022 World Championships, our team has made the hard decision to no longer continue campaigning for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. We would like to thank everyone for all the love and encouragement we have received these past two years. With your support, we were able to compete in twelve international events, complete twenty-five training camps (international & domestic), and learn more about our incredible sport every day. For that, we are eternally grateful and hope to give back by supporting future US Olympic campaigners.
Since the beginning, we have felt like there is nothing the two of us can’t accomplish together. For that reason, our team’s relationship goes beyond the confines of an Olympic quadrennium. Similar to Navy Seals going through B.U.D.S., our journey bonded us and engraved a bright blue butterfly to forever be worn on our hearts. We remain, and will always be, the best of friends.
Though concluding our team’s olympic aspirations was difficult, we know there is more on the horizon for us. Looking ahead, Lucy has her sights set on the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games while Erika is exploring various different avenues of the sport. It is safe to say that we are both still obsessive about sailing and are driven by the fact that there is always more to learn. There’s nothing that could turn us away from the sport we fell in love with as kids.
Thank you again for your support. You gave us wings and we will continue to fly to new heights from here.
Sincerely,
Lucy & Erika
