There was a good side effct of having a short Jr team and that is the
very deserving placing of the Check Jr's. Allthough we may have edged
them out if we had a 3rd member their performance was inspiring to
watch and they very much earned their first place finish and the
smiles on the podium were an inspiration. Even if we muster up a full
Jr team next cycle the Check Jr's will be a tough team to beat!--- In
