The Hargrove Sisters Team USA
In this episode of The Whitewater Line, we sit down with sisters MK and Mary Claire Hargrove from team USA at the World Cup in Millau France to talk about a life built around rivers, adventure, and family. From their first days on the water to travelling the world for freestyle kayaking, the Hargrove sisters share the story of how paddling became such a huge part of their lives. We dive into balancing school, studies, travel, competition, and the challenges that come with chasing big goals on the international stage. MK reflects on her journey to becoming World Champion, including the unforgettable moment of standing atop the podium and receiving her gold medal from her brother — a family moment that made the achievement even more special. Beyond competition, we explore the incredible work the Hargrove family has done with Team River Runner, helping veterans discover the healing power of paddlesports and the outdoors. We also discuss the creation of the Southeast Freestyle Tour, their efforts to grow the sport, and why building opportunities for the next generation of paddlers is so important. This is a conversation about family, community, adventure, service, and what it means to give back to the sport that has given so much in return.
