and started to fix the wall in the middle of the

| Remember:
Only
the top three skaters make it out of the HEATS
and qualify for the SEMIS and only the top 3 will
make it from the SEMIS to the FINALS.
Also remember that NO POINTS are awarded

John
Hurst took 3rd overall for JO Master Men!!!
The points fell this way....
They guy that got first in the short race did
NOT make it to the long, so he had 30
points. The guy that got second in short
race got first in the long race, so he had 50
points. The guy that got third in the short
race got also got third in the long race, so he
had 20 points. John got second in the long
race, so he had 20 points. Remember, when
there is a tie, whoever placed higher in the long
race wins. So, because John got 2nd in the
long he beat out the other guy who had 20 points
because that guy only got third in the long.
The guy that got 4th overall was so mad that he
didn't get third (he obviously did NOT understand
the point system and how a tie is broken)...that
he would not even get on the podium.
GO JOHN!
Reggie's first comment to John was, "BYE
JOHN!" Reggie is so excited that John is NOT
JO anymore! Now Reggie doesn't have to race John
at Regionals next year!
