[Al Skierkiewicz]

IRI has been the highlight of the off season events and this year Indiana outdid themselves. The event was perfectly planned, executed and had plenty of everything an event should have. Thanks for the invitiation to play with such great teams and visit with friends. The trophies were great, the venue wonderful as always, the talent show hard to describe, the ceremonies top notch, judges were outstanding, overall a wonderful experience. Thanks to all the volunteers who helped pull this off. You should be very proud of what you accomplished this weekend.
Congratulations to all the final teams, you gave us one of the toughest finals ever recorded. Congratulations the teams who received judged awards.

A special congratulation goes out to Mike Martus, mentor on Chief Delphi, 47. You deserve this great honor of Mentor of the Year. FIRST exists because of dedicated people like you who know the value of working with students and keeping a program alive that has so many benefits. I am proud to know you.
