Great job to Miami Valley on their SSNCT runner-up finish. St. Mark's is a top team in Texas with plenty of experience, so it was going to be a tough challenge playing them. I'm sure the broader quizbowl-sphere was following along to SSNCT in awe and wonder of the young Groger Brothers. I'm sure you guys will be favorites for next year's competition.

Congrats in order also to Ottawa Hills, and especially Ben Logan and United for going pretty far. Ben Logan should be good next year.
