And also a great job to 558 and 3467 with 3 blue banners.

This screenshot is truly amazing to me. To even have our number up there with some of these hall of fame and perennial powerhouse teams is a massive honor.

I can now say competing for 3 consecutive weekends (with the 4th coming this weekend) is in fact crazy. We're certainly enjoying the ride, but it may be one of those where one ride is enough.

Congratulations on your successes the past 3 weeks.

Thanks Glenn. We're preparing as hard as we can and will give it our best shot to keep adding.

I'm curious why you switched your drive team the week before district champs. Was it a "spread the wealth" ideology or was it some other reason? Also was the decision made ahead of time or not?

Good luck at District Champs and hopefully Championship as well!

Going into the season we knew we were not going to attend a 'travel' regional for the inaugural NEFIRST season. We decided on 3 district events with hopefully a DCMP after. After NEFIRST opened registration to all teams for a 3rd event, there were still several open slots at events left over. We found out it was feasible for us to register for a 4th event and decided if we did so, we wanted to try something new and send an all-girls squad.

The rookie drivers were slated to drive at Pine Tree as soon as we signed up for the event. The success at previous events was not going to be a factor in who we had drive in that event, as we only signed up for the 4th one for them.

The 'rookie' drivers looked anything but that on the field and kept our streak alive. One of the most proud moments I've ever had as a member/mentor of a FIRST team.
