Sorry for a late response. I am in Amsterdam and haven't checked CD for a few days.

Team 135 has decided to deny for a few reasons. First and foremost, our senior class (my class) was the main reason we applied in the first place. We wanted to compete and have a fun weekend. However, our entire drive team experienced conflicts.

As Logan pointed out, we are a Junior-Senior team. Our incoming juniors are extremely hard-working and talented, and they are one of the biggest classes we have had to date (up to 40 students!) However, there was not enough support from these newcomers and our rising seniors to take a weekend out of the summer for something they barely knew about. To make the situation more difficult, none of our 3 main coaches were going, and we only had 2 mentors willing to go, neither on the pit team. Because of these reasons, we had no choice but to decline.

Thank you to the IRI commitee for inviting us to this prestigious event. Although we won't be competing in July, you can expect 135 to come out in full force next March. I won't be involved with any teams personally as of now, but I am going to try and volunteer at the Purdue competition next year and maybe another one as well.

I hope everyone is having a great summer so far!
