Readers! We had 46 students participate in the tournament this year. A huge thank you to all who volunteered their time as judges, timers and question writers: Nelle Jurgeleit Greene, Ella Bredthauer, Jeanne Kitayama, Teri Kanahele, Barb Blood, Madeline Witek, Gabi Miller, Jansy Hansen and Holly Davis. Thank you to the Fireweed Restaurant for the donation of a pizza party for the first-place winners!

I would especially like to thank Karen Garcia, for being here every day to read the questions and for being the question writer extraordinaire. I appreciate her dedication to this event each year.
