LAU, Alisha (Richmond)
On how she is feeling on both her individual and team results:
“I’m feeling good– I’m a little disappointed in my performance today, but I grinded hard and left everything out there. It was definitely a struggle with feeling a bit sick. I’m also feeling super proud of my teammates and I– we played our hearts out, and even though it wasn’t the finish we were looking for, we rallied around each other and fought hard together.”

On her favorite part of the overall Games so far:
“The overall highlights for me at the Games is just being a part of the team atmosphere here. It’s going out and cheering for the other sports to the small things like fist bumping my teammates when I see them around the course because it’s a rare opportunity to play as a team in junior golf.”
