Wow. On behalf of my entire team, I can't thank you enough for writing this. Really. It means so much to all of us. Who knew that a little stuff guarding could end in such an amazing alliance and only one more reason for me to be excited about CT. When I saw that you had picked 195 as your first choice, I knew that you were the alliance I wanted our team to be on. So, naturally, I was ecstatic when you called our name. Not only that, but it was only shortly after that my feelings about the alliance were confirmed with the excellent meeting that took place after. I was really impressed by how intelligent both the drivers and strategists of your team and as well as 195 were.
There was a definite display of Gracious Professionalism from all sides as well. One instance I can pull was the energy situation. It really made me happy knowing that so many teams were willing to give up something so valuable for others in order for them to compete. And, although we didn't take the Regional (congratulations to 230, 20, and 228 by the way- you guys were nothing short of amazing out there), I was able to end the day with a smile because of how much fun it was working with you all.
It was great meeting all of you, meeting up with those I already knew, and being able to work in such a great environment. Thank you all so much about Chairman's as well. It was defiantly a surprise on our part, seeing as it was only our second year submitting. Congratulations to you guys on the Judge's Award! After talking to Lizzy about some of your accomplishments, I can honestly say it was clearly earned. Also, congratulations should go out to any team that won any award as well as to Tina and Eric for Dean's list. Although I don't know you all personally, I can tell just from the three days spent together that those awards were given out with care and to deserving teams.
Best of luck to all who were at WPI and will be continuing to other events in the following weeks. If anyone has any questions or anything for me or my team, don't hesitate to send me a message or email me.
