2003 Columbia Cup

It may seem like so long ago now (hey, it's been less than a month) that you may have forgotten all about it. So let me refresh your memory. It was a very nice weekend. Charlotte Wenger, Cindi Pruit, Karla Forte and the rest of the "Couch" did a great job organizing the trial. And the judges, Dwayne Bonker, Eric Bruce and Kathy McGovern set good courses and were fun to run under.

So, you know the drill. The Columbia Cup is determined on the basis of the scores for the four standard run with the cumulative yards per second being the tie breaker. In all, 21 teams ran clean for the weekend, including all the class winners. If you don't think getting four clean runs in a weekend is tough, just try it. And if you try to do and be fast in the process, it's just that much tougher.

Cutting to the chase, the overall winners of the 2003 Columbia Cup were:
