[RC] US Chef d' Equipe Announcement - k s swigartFrom: "John Teeter" <johnt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Although nothing official from USEF yet, I understand Valerie Kanavy has been appointed the Chef d' Equipe for US Endurance. She has removed herself from the US Endurance Team Alternates List to accept the possition. An announcement will be forthcoming I suspect. Well....if the USEF doesn't make an official announcement soon, speculation that the reason for Tom Johnson being replaced was that Valerie Kanavy wasn't selected for the long list is just going to be fueled further. In fact, they may have already left it until too late because it is possible that any official announcement they come up with now will get put under the heading of "lame excuse." OBVIOUSLY the reason cannot have anything to do with "the USEF has big plans to develop a national training center and a young riders program" as these plans only have anything to do with the approach to FUTURE competitions. ...unless, of course, the reason was that the people who want to make this change for the USEF approach to international endurance deliberately wanted to sabotage the current US Team's efforts in Aachen in order to provide justification doing it in this new and different way in the future. kat Orange County, Calif. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
