We had a great day at the tournament in Pittsburg, Kansas yesterday. Monett took 2nd in the K-12 division. We have several medalists who finished in the top 25, listed below. What really impressed me is that we are an especially young team, with 4 out of our 7 medalists being middle schoolers who chose to play up in the high school division. In fact, I believe we were the only school with middle schoolers playing in the high school division!

3rd: Marshall Verslues
10th: Kanden Craker
14th: Dylan Burns
17th: Sergio Serrano
19th: Owen Wormington
21st: Michael Albig
23rd: Diego Murillo
