Congrats to Alina (1st), Noah (1st), Keegan (2nd), Bri (2nd), Britton (3rd), and Robert (4th) at the Lakewood Black Friday open.  I appreciate the dedication to competing even when coaches cannot join.  For the middle schoolers who have not competed yet I encourage you to find an open in the next couple of weeks so we can start competing. 

We've got a full week of practice with opportunities for open and Sat/Sun but again I can't attend given obligations with the high school teams.
