Nathaniel Lyons ROC
Andrew Childs GMOC
Carl Underwood NEOC
Greg Ahlswede DVOA
Ethan Childs GMOC - declined
Keith Andersen USMAOC

1st Alternate - John H. Williams GAOC
2nd Alternate - John Goodwin UNO

Jeff Saegar, USA Junior Team Coach
Scott Drumm, USOF VP of Competition
==========================================

According to the O-scores the A-meet ratings are as follows

Nathaniel Lyons ROC  (M-18), 123.8
Andrew Childs GMOC (M-18), 122.1
Carl Underwood NEOC  (M-16), 120.6
Greg Ahlswede DVOA (M-20), 116.1
Ethan Childs GMOC -(M-16), 114.8
Keith Andersen USMAOC (M-20), 110.5

1st Alternate - John H. Williams GAOC,  (M-18), 110.6
2nd Alternate - John Goodwin UNO (M-20), 108.6

So it looks like the sorted sequence is about right.
Cutoff is at level of 108.

Who is missing?

Erik Nystrom ,  (M-20),  136.8 Very solid performance, not too many races (not a citizen?)
Jaxon Rickel (M-16), at 123.7 Solid performance, not too many long races

Jordan Laughlin  (M-20), 119.0 Solid Blue performance, many races (YB 1989..)

Huw Stradling ,  (M-18), 113.2  Shaky performance, one good event year ago (West point), not too many races


I think absence of Erik Nystrom in the team is a definite big loss, but according to Drew he is not a citizen, pity.

Females:

Hannah Burgess USMAOC, (F-20), 95.9
Alison Campbell DVOA (F-20), 98.1
Holly Kuestner COC (F-20), 95.6


Potential Possibilities Missed?
Tori Borish, (F-20), 90.0

  1. Yes Erik is not a citizen and neither is Huw Stradling. Erik is now back in Sweden and Huw is now back in the UK, both at University I believe.

    Jordan and Tori although Citizens are too old for the team this year.

    Jaxson didn't get to many meets which is a shame, but I think the extra year and more meets before heading off to JWOC will do him a load of good. So we all must watch out for him next year!
