Canada are the McNamara twins from UCLA. "USA" isn't a pair from the Wahine program, but Claes/Hughes from USC.

No matter which way you dice it chinchin chimpo I'm non-chiisai unlike you. we're so different, you and I.
I like the Zalopany sisters (of Kauai) & K. Passi and Sr.-Ginger Long for Hawai'i.
I believe that K. Spieler is waiting for her partner Nikki Taylor to resume play.
Rooks and Boyan as US Americans have been making great strides. |
