It was a great Championship for our Canadian friends.

Congratulations to your team, Spiders, as well. The distance of travel back and forth is a real eye-opener for sure. It can be very unexpected and surprising. Also, the size of the Dome and the spread of the fields. The first time I saw it, I think I forgot to breathe for a minute or two. Everyone should have the opportunity to experience the Championship just as you did this year.

Psst, many of our students, mentors, and parents on our team still call the Championship, Nationals. We still know what they are talking about. I like that some folks are calling it, Worlds. That's kind of cool.
