Just because they didn't make it to champs doesn't mean that they weren't any good!
We had a good year, and ended up one spot out of qualifying for St. Louis. You can see video of our climb on the Detroit Public Television website at:

If you click on the quarter finals video and go to 56:15 you can see our 30 point climb followed by 1918's 30 point climb.
We definitely weren't fast but we were really consistent. When we went for the top level, we made it 90% of the time and only took one fall in over 50 matches. Even though most brushed it off by week 6, it still turned out to be a game changer at the MSC when a climber could put up 74 points in a match.
