Super competition this year!! Whiz did an awesome job, as always. Really appreciated (as a Michigan, with out of state kid competing) the acknowledgement of the 4 out of state competitors! (Even if it would have been nice if it could have been mentioned where the top 2 placed in the preliminary round - trying not to sound like a whining parent - did appreciate them being able to compete in the head to head footlock).
Just for info, the preliminary score sheet that was passed out to spectators during the Masters had the following top 5 ranked as follows:
1st - Lucas Drews from South Carolina with 176.042 points
2nd - Abram Zies from I believe Texas with 174.315 points
3rd - Kevin Bingham from Michigan with 170.188 points
4th - Kris Alder from Michigan with 142.932 points
5th - Jack Richardson from Michigan with 132.240 points
Kevin did a GREAT job on the Master's, as did Jack. Kris gave it a really great try. Thanks to all those who did participate and help in this event. There is nothing like the real "Men in Trees" to help each other out, encourage their competition, and share their knowledge with their fellow competitors.
