Fence 2 - Uwharrie Technology Trap House
It’s already been a jam-packed day in Norwood, North Carolina as the CIC* and CIC3* contested their cross country courses already. Now, it’s the Advanced division’s turn, and Lauren Kieffer will look to take home the win aboard stablemates Veronica and Czechmate. That’s right, Lauren is currently leading both the Advanced Test A and Advanced Test B divisions, and she’s doing it on two scores in the 20s at that.
Tremaine Cooper’s cross country course is formidable, though, so we’ll be looking for some leaderboard shakeup as these combinations get out on course. Refresh this page to keep up with our live updates, and you can also follow along with the PRO Radio Tour here.
