Allie and Morgan are so wonderful. I'm very optimistic about how they'll be doing in the next couple years. A very talented team.

BTW- This article does not mention it, but CHELSEA WEGRZYNIAK was the top qualifier in Lincoln-Douglas and myself and Linzi Dudding qualified in Policy.

Why didn't we get to see all of the qualifiers names in the online version? I know there's the obligatory "pick up a copy" line at the end of the article. But come on, two names were mentioned. Why not all seven?
