São Miguel Island, Azores, Portugal, September 18, 2016 - On Day 2 of the 2016 VISSLA ISA World Junior Surfing Championship the women got their first chance to take to the water in the competition, taking advantage of the clean morning conditions to shine in front of the international field of competitors.
Praia do Monte Verde presented challenging conditions that shaped the day of competition. Large tide swings, a dying swell and a brief afternoon storm front created less than ideal conditions, however a new swell that began to show in the afternoon and a promising forecast kept the competitors excited for the days to come.
Japan's Minami Nonaka was the standout performer, earning the highest heat score of the day with a two wave total of 17.93. Nonaka advanced to Round 2 of the Main Event along with Canada's Sanoa Olin, who finished second. Barbados' Olivia Warden was relegated to the Repechage Rounds where she will look to redeem herself and advance back into the Main Event which will start with single elimination in Round 3.
 
The 2015 Girls U-16 Gold Medalist, Summer Macedo (HAW), and USA's Caroline Marks, also stood out in the competition, marking respective heat totals of 17.50 and 16.67 in their Round 1 heats.
 
2014 ISA Scholarship recipient and representative of Team Germany, Lilly Von Treuenfels, spoke after narrowly advancing with second place in her Girls U-18 Round 1 heat.
 
"My heat was quite slow and the waves that came through where very small. My opponents were very good surfers, so I'm very happy to have passed. I am looking forward to better waves in the next rounds.
 
"Representing my country in international competitions is always an honor. We have a great team and we are proud to represent Germany. It would be an honor to all of us to compete in Tokyo 2020."
