Collegiate Bridge in Minnesota

 

 

Minnesota is doing a fine job of growing our junior bridge base!  And Stephanie Threlkeld, the ACBL Education and Communications Manager, does a superb job aiding our collegiate players.  (Thank  you, Stephanie!)

The ACBL features a number of special online tournaments. Prizes and masterpoints can be won - along with honors, of course!  As you can see, a number of our collegiate Minnesotan competitors did well.

Ben Kristensen, featured above with his dad, Curt achieved over 66% and was fourth overall.  (As you may well imagine, being a college student, Ben is a bit more grown up now - not to mention already a competitor on the world stage!)

Congrats to all our college players who placed. Good luck next time to everyone - and remember; you have to enter to win!

Big thanks, too, to all of our other teachers, professors and volunteers who are doing a superb job at teaching and training the next generation of bridge stars!
