rolling with the river

[luxc]

i am really enjoying the rolling with the river series, it is great to follow some of Canada's next world team members and Olympians (and to follow current ones).

I was wondering if you guys would consider doing an episode on the women's team, or covering the women's team a bit more. There are some amazing ladies training in Guelph, and it seems like they don't get the attention the guys get.... is speed river a men's only team? (this is not meant to be a mean jab or anything, I have heard a great women's only running team in Ottawa and maybe speed river is going that direction with men?).

anyway, if possible, cover both teams

Thanks for the input. I would have liked to have put together a video on the women's performance at OUAs unfortunately, the individual assigned to the task wasn't able to get enough useable footage to make a quality video. A number of our videos highlight different opportunities that exist for our athletes in our community, to be frank our men's post-collegiate scene is a little ahead of our women's so the opportunities generally are afford to the male athletes (i.e. Look Out, Hollywood). Our women's post collegiate scene is growing and over the next few seasons there will be a greater focus on them.

In addition I have assigned the individual who shot the footage of the men's race at OUAs for both races today so hopefully I will receive enough footage to make a great video about the women's race.
