Posted May 22, 2008

I have been playing phone tag with Bad Axe Coach Lee Kaler for the final qualifiers for the Meet of Champs.

While I jam to some Jimmy Buffet and dream of warmer weather (someday...right?!) here is the final (yet unofficial) 2008 Thumb Meet of Champs qualifiers.

This will be updated either today or sometime this weekend...depending on if I get the e-mail Lee sent to the area coaches.

Regardless it should be a blast! This will be my second MoC in three seasons of covering it (my first season was dubious as lightning canceled the meet).
