2018 marks the tenth anniversary season for the Whole Athlete p/b DNA
Team, a decade of development rooted in dedication, integrity, and
fun.
The
team’s 2017 season brought the total of Junior and U23 National
Titles to 22. And in its nine-year history to date, the program has had
24 athletes named to the US World Championship Team, resulting in
multiple top-10 finishes. The 2018 team now looks to add to that
tradition of success.
