Despite starting the day with a 26th place finish in the swimming competition Isabella Isaksen came on strong with 10th place finishes in both the riding and combined events to rise up to a 12th place finish. Samantha Achterberg had a little more to overcome after 25th and 15th place finishes in the swimming and riding competitions. She posted the sixth best time in the combined event but ended five seconds behind Isaksen. The final US competitor, Margaux Isaksen, had posted 15th and 12th place finishes in the swimming and riding events and was actually the top US competitor going into the combined portion. She was 21st in that event though and fell to 16th overall.
The rest of the men’s event is Saturday.
