Father and coach Dr. Jack Fabian reported on his daughter’s recent victory in the pro FINA 12K race in Patagonia. “It was challenging.”

“Eva moved on the third loop of five. The last turn coming into the finish made for a very tough ending to the race. There were strong currents and a sea lion that joined in the women’s pack on the second loop. It was strange to see him there since the race site is about 20 miles from the ocean. The water was fresh water so we did not expect it.”
