It was an unbelievable day! Awesome in every way.
We woke up to perfect blue skies and made our way up to Cypress Mountian for the qualification event for men's aerials. It's a two-jump event where the scores for both jumps are added together and the top 12 copetitors out of the field of 25 are invited back to compete in finals (an Olympic medal event) on Thursday.
Ryan finished the qualification event in 2nd place - a great confidence booster as he refocuses for his next event.
I don't have the photos to post but I promise to have them up as soon as possible - more in my next post but here's some news links...

Congrats to Ryan and all the family there to watch and cheer him on! We're all routing for him here at the VT Sustainable Jobs Fund. Give our best to Janice -- tell her not to call or email though as she needs to fully enjoy this vaca and NOT think about work!! But do let us know we're thinking of you all and wishing Ryan best of luck and form on Thursday!
