We were being lectured for our inappropriate behavior on the field at the Boilermaker Regional.

I am looking across the back of the stage, because there is this huge "Scott Head" about to knock Blair off the podium.

The Safety Adviser (in green vest) is about ready to do something safety related to avoid serious harm.

Amy P is actually asleep, worn out from dealing with the paparazzi for three days.

I'm not sure, but I think Flo (aka Steve Florence) is giving hand signals to the Scott Head and actually leading the entire attack.

I am the only one who thinks that Andy's hair is fake? :)

I guess you haven't been able to run your fingers through it yet. Thick and luscious.

OK, i am lying, but seriously, "look at that pretty girl coach."

There are many other people that helped out with this regional, as well as many on the committee that took over several responsibilities (as well as ones I neglected to mention). There are so many people to thank, and the success of this regional shows the outstanding dedication of all those that made it possible. Ryan Schroeder and Carolyn Percifeld, which you saw several times during the weekend whether running around the event or on stage for awards, were the incredible duo that made this happen. We had a great amount of media and an outstanding number of VIPs that came to this event.

Thanks to all that made this happen. And the finals... couldn't be better if we planned them! ;)
