2004 Nationals!
Standard Finals

Leif- placed 3rd in all three finals and ended up 3rd overall. Way to go, Leif. He jumped in the 5 lap final and out-hawked for third at the line. We've got a great picture of it coming to practice this week.

B.J.- in his 3 lap heat he slipped off the start, he skated good though in his 5 lap he went wide off the first corner and couldn't make up the ground in his 10 lap he was DQ'd for blocking.  Overall he skated okay but in his relay he skated awesome... in his relay he was unstoppable.

Shakari- she skated great and hung in there, remember she was skating against the JR World team members. Coach Lee is very proud of her.

Stacy - she skated well but did not make it out of her heats in her 10 or 20 lap races. She did make it to her 5 final. She was in 3rd place when she slipped and fell. Two other girls went down with her. The coaches protested this race because no one had cleaned off the floor from the prior race. There was a nasty fall in the Junior mens race and was sweat on the floor.

Stacy did place 2nd place overall in her Senior 4 Lady Relay. She was racing with Mandy Howard, Jill Rookard, and Kim Foster from GT Speed. Coach Lee is very proud of Stacy. This is her first national placement. Coach Lee said that she was skated great and that they couldn't have gotten 2nd without her.

John and Reggie skated well against a bunch of experienced master men in the Master 2-Man relay. They got 4th in their heat (it was 3 to qualify). To quote Shakari, "they hung in there".
