Big shoutout for the never ending supportive comments during the event and during this competition.  Can't thank you enough, Casey Francisco for capturing a video which was broadcast live via Facebook for event #4.   

Also wanted to thank our two last minute substitutes athlete, Moe and Courtney for stepping in very last minute.   Two of our original athletes Rob and Stacey were signed up, injuries had prevented them for competing.   Thinking of all of you during this competition and hope for a speed recovery.
