Crossroads tournament results

As always, the Crossroads K-6 tournament was our first tournament of the year. We had 14 players participate, with an impressive 8 team members receiving medals for 3 or more wins, including 3 team members playing in their first tournament. Kennard was part of an exciting 5-way tie for 1st place, and the team took home the 2nd place trophy based on tie breaks. Congratulations to everyone who participated!
