I wanted to congratulate those that competed in this weekends Midwest Regional Qualifier! Conditions were extreme and very difficult. Sounds like another qualifier where you cannot predict the conditions, but you just have to fish your tail off! Great job up there guys! My congratulations and appreciation goes out to Kevin Thomason, Terry Wittorp, Steve Birman, Barney Naylor and all of the volunteers that help put on another great qualifier in Michigan. These guys have always set the standard for putting on a great tournament. I would encourage everyone that has not been able to compete in Michigan to get to this qualifier in the future.

Gold Medal – Loren Williams
Silver Medal – Barney Naylor
Bronze Medal – Leonard Sauers
