At the Nuttycombe Invitational, the men finished 20th and the women 4th. Both can expect to do better - especially the women. Men have yet to use Nathan Rodriguez, who would probably be at least the number 3 guy on the squad. The women have yet to use Taryn O'Neill and Kaley Ciluffo. O'Neill is supposedly outstanding and was expected to contend for number 1. The puzzle is Burda. She was one the best on the squad, last year. Will her times improve as the season progresses?
A little note: Katrina Robinson (Arkansas) finished 8th. Believe she is from New Zealand. VU is not getting the best from down under. Why? Maybe it was grades? But then they did not get McDonald or Hoare (Wisconsin) - and that is not grades.
