BRF’s Jenny Sichel and her LTA4+ crew (Dorian Weber, Zach Burns, Dani Hansen and Jackie Smith) captured a silver medal at the Rio Paralympics this morning. Leading at 250 meters by 0.13 over GB, the crew ultimately finished second behind Great Britain, while holding off a very hard charging Canadian crew by just 0.29 seconds. This caps off a three year run of silver medal finishes for the USA crew, and their second paralympic silver medal in this event. Footage of the race should eventually be available at TeamUSA.org
