Youth North American Bridge Championship
As many in our district are aware, July saw the first ever Youth NABC in Atlanta. From Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, eight students competed in this exciting event: Shaylee Crile, Blake Carel, Brach Prough, Dominick Webb, Kathryn Chabal, Hannah Taylor, JasminTone and Jessica Tone.
Rosemary Peck, Jan Waters, Mary and Zip Mettenburg accompanied the students in two vans to the tournament. Their first day there, the kids had a practice "Swiss Team" game. Then they enjoyed two sessions of pairs, and finally on Sunday, the "Swiss Teams" championship.
All in all, students from 28 locations played, including 3 from Canada and 25 from the U.S., including as far away as Hawaii!
Every Iowa student won masterpoints - and as all are ACBL members, this is big! The students would like to thank everyone who donated to make their trip possible, be they members of Units 163, 235, District 14 or just bridge lovers. The students are most eager to attend the Youth NABC next summer, in Washington DC.
