2008 Los Angeles Regional

[David Brinza]

Congratulations to the repeat LA Regional Chairman's Award winner, Team 399. You totally energized the event, especially with your video. It was awesome at field level just in front of your very enthusiastic section.

330 and 1717 gave an impressive display of effective Trackball handling and maneuverability throughout the LA regional. 330's selection of 1717 pretty much "sealed the deal" for the regional win. 980's goal was to clear some track for them (which often meant trying to keep out of their way).

There was a great mix of teams at the LA Regional including some outstanding rookie teams. The schools for Rookie All-Star (2429, La Canada HS) and Rookie Inspiration (2404, John Muir HS) award winners are located about a mile of one another. I'm so proud of Team 2404 "TNT" for their perseverance throughout the season. There are even better things ahead for their program and their school.

Thanks to the volunteers and RD who stepped up to make the LA Regional a truly great event.
