"For me, being a SHARK means one is relentless in the pursuit of excellence. Whether it be in gritty racing or the chase of technical improvements, the 'never enough' attitude, focus, and determination required to be considered relentless embodies exactly what it means to be a SHARK."

Karissa Riley cheers in her single at the finish line
