On behalf of Team 341 I would like to thank all of the volunteers, sponsors and FIRST folks that made the Philly Regional possible. I know the change of venue put a lot of strain on the planning and coordination of the event. But you would never know it by how smoothly it ran. Awesome Job!

A special thank you to our alliance partners 272 and 1923. We gave it our best shot and all most had them. It was almost 10 years ago that 272 LC picked an untested rookie team as their alliance partner. I never forget how amazing you guys really are. In so many ways, our team still looks up to Lansdale Catholic.

Congratulations to the winners 365, 56, and 395. A truly impressive showing from three amazing teams.

Congratulations to Team 433 for winning the Chairman's Award. You are very desrving and have been for many years. The problem in Philly is that their are about 6 teams that deserve the award each year. Its probably one of the toughest regionals in FIRST in terms of Chairmans competition. It was truly your year.

and finally... I wanted to thank our amazing media coach and 341 alum Kirsten Jahn for winning the WFFA. Since she joined our team as a kid back in 2000, she has truly been the "Face" of Miss Daisy. All of the incredible graphics, web pages, posters and videos that you see produced by our team are due to her guidance of a small band of kids that do a ton of work. "MissDaisyGirl" often says she has been "slaving" for the Daisy since 2000. We would not be who we are without her tireless efforts and the way she inspires her students. Congratulations Kir!

Good luck to everyone in their remaining regionals and to everyone heading to Atlanta.
