Wow.

That’s about all I can say right now. Winning the first district for our team is such an amazing feeling, and seeing the looks on the student’s faces reminds me why I love this program so much. Add to that winning Chairman’s in our second year, and this weekend has been unbelievable. I am so proud of all of our students, mentors, sponsors and coaches, and seeing the smiles that everyone has after winning 2 blue banners in 1 event is unforgettable.

I want to say thank you to Team 2471 and Team 3674. You guys made great alliance partners, and we could not have pulled this off without you guys. You both always played strong and had great strategy, and we cannot wait to see both of you at Wilsonville.

Teams 955, 1425 and 2733 were an absolutely amazing alliance to play against in the Finals. You guys were some really tough completion, and put up an amazing fight. We hope to see you guys at Wilsonville and Portland, and maybe have a chance to compete together.

To all the volunteers and event managers, we thank you for putting on a great inaugural Oregon City District event. It was very well run, and after actually seeing a district event for myself, I think this is going to greatly help the Pacific Northwest. I’m ready for Wilsonville and Portland.
