Day 2 was an important day as all three teams were going to attempt to make a run towards the top four spots. If any of the teams made the top four, the winner would be decided in a step ladder format. The girls gave themselves a chance, but came up short finishing in the 7th position for the weekend. The guys’ first team looked as if they were going to pull it off. They were in the 4th position halfway through Sunday, but fell one spot to finish 5th for the weekend. Perhaps, the best story on Sunday was the guys’ second team, who pulled together after a bad first day and moved up the leader board ten positions to finish in the 15th spot.
Even though all of the teams struggled, overall the weekend was very positive. All three teams will learn from their mistakes and achievements and try to apply both of these to the next competition as they travel to Louisville, Kentucky next weekend.
