Neenah OO dropped in Doubles. Not sure what the decision was as no one disclosed. Any update on Marquette?

Appleton East’s Duo advanced to the final round, no idea what they placed though. I didn’t stick around for awards. If someone did, it would be fantastic if they could post this.

3rd or 4th, I think.

Appleton East’s Duo Placed 4th. Congratulations to both of the students and to Deb and Mike!

It’s exciting to think that Appleton had an entry in the final round in their first year at CFL Nataionals, and that their name got to appear in an awards ceremony that more-or-less took place on their home turf. A huge congradulations is due to Deb, Mike, and especially the AE students.

I was very impressed by the conduct, performance and kindness that I was shown by Mr. and Mrs. Traas, and Kyle and Emily this weekend.
Also, I had a really great time watching the final round of duo and seeing Kyle and Emily do so well and be the only representative from Wisconsin in late outrounds.
Congratulations, Appleton East, you deserve it!
