Re: 2008 New York City Regional

Wow, these past 4 days have been insane; it's all just a blur. Just competing in what was the most awesome regional setup I've seen is great enough. Then being picked for eliminations at all was enough for us to call success, but getting picked by 41 and 555 is..."wow."
Getting to help two amazing hurdlers do what they do best..."extra wow."
Getting to the final round..."wait what just happened."
Winning the finals..."that did not just happen."

Then coming into school today with the principal announcing the win got a lot of teachers and students seriously interested in FIRST.

Big thanks to teams 41 and 555 for picking us.

Congrats to 348, 375, and 637 for being finalists, you were great competitors.

More congrats to Wayne Penn for the WFA win. After you were announced I saw you and your team interact, and you seemed to be the definition of an inspirational mentor.
