That being said, one of my closest friends told me I needed to read this thread last night and once I did I had to say something. The outpouring of thanks, appreciation and respect was really amazing. During the event I had multiple people thanking me for my efforts. I just want to say that this wouldn't be possible without all of the incredible volunteers I was lucky enough to work with on this field. Also, the group of teams that made up Newton was fantastic - everyone played hard and really showed a lot of class and grace under pressure. The amount of effort and hard work that it takes to make it to the World Championship deserves at least an equal effort on our end. I hope that I was able to provide that this weekend - the volunteers and teams that I had the honor of working with on Newton (and all season for that matter) were inspiring to say the least.

Congratulations and a huge thank you to everyone that helped to make Newton 2014 a success. I hope to see everyone back in St Louis again next year!

Sincerely and gratefully your FTA,
Rob Jenkins

You rocked it, Rob! You were a definite inspiration for me to maintain my energy level throughout the event.
