“Victoria’s current trajectory takes her into—and I would argue, at this point in her career, past—some pretty exclusive company. Our team’s exposure to her work ethic each day in practice and to her astonishing achievements on race day have infected our entire program. She has raised the bar for everyone.”
Daniel Guyton
Governor Livingston Coach
