Kara Eaker tested positive

Starting Sunday Kara began 8-14 days of isolation.

Her father says she’s had no symptoms, so far.

One additional alternate is considered a close contact, and is quarantining in her room until she tests negative. Leanne Wong said at Olympic trials that she had not been vaccinated. Kara, Kayla DiCello & Emma Malabuyo indicated they had been.

U.S. alternates have been training alongside the team, a poor decision. Obviously.
