I had 2 girls there who showed up, worked hard, met as many people as they could and made our trip the best trip ever. these 2 girls are Shantell Evans and Alexandrea Brown. When these girls where not competing they where helping our team out, routing them on and kept us going with there smiles. I believe Shantell collected the most Pins from the other countries. They both made the other countries feel welcome and intern should have been awarded the best host award. I am very proud of their ability to keep our team going and showing just what it is to be a proud, and patriotic american and good person. Great job girls!
I wanted to say a BIG thank you to all of the parents, friends and family who showed up to help us. We really became a team out there. more than any other US team there I think we stood behind each other. I believe firmly that you can not be a good kid or person with out great parents and family. So thanks again for everything.
I know we have not seen each other in a while, but the big party is coming. as soon as I get the confirmation I will send an email. I would also love some help getting the plans together. So if you would help me one last time I would appreciate it.
I truly believe that things happen for a reason. I could not have asked for a better final scene to this part of my life. I am very glad you where all a party of this. I hope we can all stay in touch and continue to help each other.
So with only 14 contestants from Utah we brought home 36 medals, 3 scholarships out of 7 total given out, and many other awards! A record for Utah and the WCOPA! Way to go Team Utah! We also have many agents, record labels and more contactin out talent. I will keep everyone informed on projects to come ahead with all of you. If you would all do the same that would be great.
