Congratulations Michael!

Michael submitted these photos late last night following his 14th-place win at the North American Championships in Nashville yesterday. Michael added that this was "definitely the toughest group that I have competed against, with 4 previous World Champs, and 6 previous National Champs, along with many that have placed in the top 10 at Worlds. Although I was sick for the day of, I'm still happy with my results".

Michael's placement has secured him a qualifying spot at the 2012 World Championships in Belfast! Congratulations Michael from all of your friends at NPIDA!
