National Championships Finals Today at Rock Island!

Octobre 2, 2004

3,600 CFS- raging hole with wave moves down the middle and on the sides- Awesome for entry moves- and one of the most beautiful playspots in the world. All of this right here today as the scene for the final event to determine the national champions in the Men’s, Women’s, C1, Junior Men, and Junior Women’s classes! Past national champions Devon Barker and Tanya Shuman will fight it out with Kristen Podolak who just won the USA Team trials, and Amy Jimmerson, also on Team USA not far behind.

In the Men’s class I have a commanding lead with 3 wins (oh yea) and 90 points. The real contest is for runner up. Stephen Wright, Andrew Holcomb, Brian Kirk, Javid Grubbs, Clay Wright and more all have a great shot at the silver and bronze.

In the Junior Women’s class- the big contest is between Hanna Farrar and Emily Jackson both only 5 points apart, meaning whoever wins this one will win it all. Adrienne hurt her shoulder on the Green River and is in a sling, so although she is now in third, she won’t be competing. Ali Wade, still a junior until December, and the winner of the 2004 International Freestyle Championships chose to compete in the women’s class. She can change her mind until 9am this morning.

In the Junior Men’s class- Zack Miller, Todd Baker, Kevin Dombey, and Justin Patt are all so close that it is anybodies game. Just behind them is Dane Jackson, Chris Shell, and Billy Boylan still within striking distance. This will be a great junior comp!

In the C1 Class- Joe Stumpfel is leading the charge with a 20 point lead over Seth Chapelle, but if Seth beats Joe by two places, he will be tied and this is the tie breaker! Gary Mullins, Glen Warner, Andrew Bell are all in the game for 3rd.

Look for some really cool visors that Kristine (head of the USFKA) made for the event. Also- time to pay our respects to the man of Rock Island- Ranger Joe!
