Sean did very nicely today. 2nd for the day, 3rd overall, only a few points out of the lead. Unfortunately Sarah lawn-darted :(

[Sean F (F2)]

Sean Franke is only 1 point out of 2nd and 4 points out of FIRST PLACE!!!!!!! ;-)

This is fantastic!

Go Sean!!!

[Scott Alexander[_2_]]

Wow! Basically tied for first and moving up the list everyday!

Beat 'em down Sean!

[Sean F (F2)]

Bummer. Looks like the full US team landed out today. Sarah and Sean went 3/4 into the first turn area and then nipped the second. Looked like Sean landed right on the edge of the 2nd cylinder and Sarah made it a bit further towards the finish.

The good news is that, from the sound of it today, many other gliders landed out as well.

Scores will take some time to come in this evening.

Considering the challenging conditions and their lack of practice, both Sarah and Sean seem to be team flying well.

What is with the wind in this place? Craziness!

Start times suggest that the US team is doing a good job of starting together. Not easy, especially in these kinds of conditions.

We should remember this is an international newsgroup however.

Why? If anyone else has a dog in this fight they are more than welcome to trumpet their success(es).

Go Get'em Sean! Sarah!
