Illinois Fall Comp 2008

headin' out in 2 hours...ETA.....Bright (maybe dark) and early. It will be nice to climb a few trees that aren't all beat up from recent storms.....
 
And the winners are:

Womens;
Ann Koenig 1st
Anne Dalrymple 2nd
Elizabeth Schulte 3rd

Because Ann Koenig is from Missouri, she does not represent Illinois in Providence. Anne Dalrymple will make her 4th ITCC competition. Ann Koenig was kind enough to forfeit the ArborMaster Training prize package and give it to Anne. What a great sport. Thank you Ann Koenig.

Mens;
Todd Kramer 1st
Jason Diehl 2nd
Brian King 3rd

Cormac Nagan also competed and took 3rd in the prelims.

Thank you to all of the Buzzers who helped: Greg Manning, Rich Hattier, Roger Martin, Paul Mautz, Tyler Roehler, Matt Kortenhoven and Gideon, and Kevin Bingham. Wes and Meagen Tregilgas from Michigan also made the trip to help.

Thank you also to all of the other volunteers.

We had 19 contestants total.
 
Thanks for the super fun time - Gideon is hooked - and now I have another excuse to go to more. What a great bunch of climbers/techs/judges/hosts. As always, it's an education to be around such a pool of dedicated tree people - thanks again for the chance to hang out!

peace,

matthew and gideon

Congrats to Anne and Todd.


Thanks to Norm, April, and all the IL gang, we had a great time and thank you for all the hospitality.

The event was great, and we had no injuries.

Norm has set the torch down, and now it's time for someone else to pick it up, and run with it. I heard nothing but great comments, about the way Norm has run his comps., these are big shoes to fill, but there are plenty good folks in IL. I'm sure the right person will step up and take the comps. to the next level.

Congrats on your tenure Norm, enjoy some time off.
 
Thank you, Norm and the rest of the volunteers for putting on a great competition. Volunteers, competitors, spectators-what a bunch of friendly folks! One kind family even fed my kids lunch. And, it was nice climbing with Anne and Elizabeth. Thanks for allowing out of chapter competitors to participate. It was a great experience.
