Silver for Lauren at NACAC U-23

This past weekend in Miramar, Florida TEAM member Lauren Forgues represented the USA at the North American, Central American and Caribbean U-23 Championships. On Saturday morning in very brutal weather conditions she walked 10km's on the track. She started off the race in second place with a Mexican walker bursting into first. Lauren came through 5k in 24:59. In the second half of the race, Lauren and the lead Mexican walker were walking the same pace but since the Mexican girl had gotten such a big lead in the first 5k, Lauren simply couldnt catch her. Lauren ended up finishing a very strong 2nd place.
