Just a few points out of third place and momentum on their side, they knew they were going to have to let it all hang out. Steady showing showed that they had taken the third spot but a late disqualification of junior Eli Kasper (Norwich, VT) suggested that he had missed a gate. Stories coroborated both sides but the judgment was against him. This tossed GMC into a 6th place finish and hopes became dim for a final push. Junior Michael Weinberg continued his excellence by nabbing the #3 spot and making his case for an individual invite to Regionals.
