In December of 2003 Carissa asked to represent another club in another LWC for economic reasons. At no time did that Coach ever directly coach her. [Due to USAW regulations at the time, Carissa ceased to be “a New Englander,” however, and was no longer eligible to break NELWC Records—editor]

In 2008, Carissa reached the pinnacle of our Sport, competing in the Olympic Games at Beijing, China.   

Everything she did above was as a member of Team Vermont.  Everything she did 2002 and before was as a member training daily with Team Vermont.

—Chris Polakowski, Head Coach Team Vermont
