Hannah Rae Finchamp's Strawberry Fields Race Report
Wow! The Strawberry Fields Youth Elite race was such an exciting event for
me, both physically and mentally! This was the first youth elite race where I
was able to truly experience racing in a strong pack. The youth girls all worked
together so well! They are all so strong and talented. It's incredible to see
how much strategy is put into ITU racing: knowing how to take your pull, sit on
someone's wheel and when to break away. In races like this one, every little
thing is important. Every second counted and the transitions were so intense!
I was fortunate enough to have a completely smooth race this weekend and that's
pretty much what you need. There is no room for error in these short and fast
youth elite races!

Caton Avilla's Strawberry Fields Race Report
Hello my name is Caton Avilla and I’m a triathlete on Monterey Bay Multisport. I am 14 years old and live in Wilton, California. Last weekend I raced at Strawberry Fields triathlon in Oxnard, CA. The race was fun and scary at the same time. The fun part of the triathlon was that I met a lot of kids from different states and became friends with a lot of them. I also saw a lot of the same friends that I met at nationals. The race was also a little scary as well. The kids that I would be racing were some of the best in the nation, and I had no idea how I would do. Once the gun went off at the starting line, all those nerves and butterflies went away, and all I could think about is getting to the finish line as fast I could. In the en d, I placed 3rd for the Youth Elite male category. I was very happy with my result, and I felt like I gave it my all. After the race, all of my new friends and I had fun body surfing in the ocean. Now looking back at last weekend I understand why I do triathlons. The first is for the passion I hold for the sport, second is the friends made along the way, next is for always learning from my mistakes before or during the race, and finally is just the sense of accomplishment that I feel when I know that I have given it my all and no one could ask for anything more. I will always remember the fun weekend I had at Strawberry Fields.

Osgood Recognized as USAT Developmental Coach of the Year
CONGRATULATIONS SHOZ!! Please see the article that was on the USAT Southwast Region website (http://www.usat-southwest.org/news/coach-of-the-year.html). We are so proud of you!!
USA Triathlon March 26, 2009
USA Triathlon and its National Coaching Commission have recognized Sharon Osgood of Carmel Valley, Calif., as the 2008 Developmental Coach of the Year.
A Developmental Coach of the Year nominee is coach of a youth club, high school or junior-level coach, or a coach directly responsible for training athletes to the junior and/or elite level.
Osgood, a USAT Level II Certified Coach, has been actively involved in working with young triathletes in California through Monterey Bay Multisport. She was instrumental in the team’s selection as a USAT High Performance Team and in the team’s silver medal performance in the USAT Developmental Team National Championship in 2008.
“I’m pleased to have been recognized for the work that I do. I feel extremely fortunate that my chosen profession is fun, intriguing, educational and always changing,” said Osgood. “When working with young people, you never know what to expect. It’s refreshing. It’s also very rewarding and satisfying to see the young people you work with growing in a lifestyle sport. I would hope this inspires other coaches in our field to do what I’m doing with the younger athletes.”
Several of the athletes Osgood works with are among the top 10 in the youth elite and junior elite rankings, while others are making the transition to the U23 and collegiate ranks. Among the athletes she has trained are Marissa Ferrante (Nationally Ranked #2 Junior Elite Female; 1st Place – Strawberry Fields Junior Elite Cup; 3rd Place – USAT Junior Elite National Championships), Kalen Darling (22nd Place – Kelowna ITU Continental Cup; 25th Place – Geneva ITU Continental Cup), Hannah Rae Finchamp (Nationally Ranked #2 Youth Elite Female; 4th Place, USAT Youth Elite National Championships), Caton Avilla (Nationally Ranked #7 Youth Elite Male), and Clark McLennan (Nationally Ranked #7 Junior Elite Male).
Because of this commitment to assisting developing athletes, Osgood has played an instrumental role in the growth of USAT’s athlete development pipeline. She has served as a USAT Junior Select and Skills Camp director, and has been a USAT Regional Athlete Development Coordinator for the Southwest Region since 2005.
As a Regional Athlete Development Coordinator, Osgood has contributed countless hours managing the nation’s only viable Regional Junior Elite Cup series and she has been key in developing a regional grant funding program to assist athletes to national level events and coaches to education programs.
The USAT National Coaching Committee is made up of some of the finest multisport coaches in the world. Committee members volunteer their time and knowledge for the sport, the athletes and the coaches. The mission of the NCC is to promote professionalism in multisport coaching and advise USAT staff regarding coach education.
