Our 32 man team composed of coaches, managers, physical therapists, paddlers went to Pattaya-Rayong, Thailand to compete in what is considered to be the Olympics of Dragon Boat Sports and brought home the bacon for our country.

It was with pride that we walked up the stage and sang our national anthem out loud as we saw our national flag being raised.

Here are a few videos while we were at Thailand.
