It’s a sport that lives on a pendulum. One day you’re on the podium, the next day you’re not making the pursuit. You have to be able to hold it together through both sides of that.” Hall said Soldier Hollow’s programming mainly focuses on getting young people outside and involved with healthy activities, but from the start Farra and Bonacci had plans to compete at a high level. “As a coach, that’s always exciting, because when you work together with (motivated athletes), hopefully everybody does their best work,” he said. “If you get a little bit lucky and the cards fall right you get some good outcomes.” Farra and Bonacci will continue to train at Soldier Hollow for two weeks before leaving to join the U.S. team in Europe. By qualifying for the Youth and Junior World Championships, the two are prequalified for junior nationals in Anchorage, Alaska, in March. There, Hall will work with them again as the assistant team leader for the Intermountain Division team.
