Tommy Yonley, 1st Place Winner, Solo Unlimited
"I should first mention that this year's race was unquestionably a great event, and everyone that I know had a fun and memorable experience—within a year or two, this race could easily become the biggest, most competitive paddling race in America…I heard that some top US paddlers were considering the Rio Fest, but instead chose to attend the New York Mayor's Cup."
J Brad Pennington, 3rd Place Winner K1 Kayak
"Great race. I love Laredo. It was a unique experience to compete against champions from Mexico."
Debbie Richardson, 1st Place Winner Women's 33 Mile
"Thank you to everyone who worked hard together pull this event together. It was an impressive turnout of support from the TCRA members and local paddling community."
