Thanks to Princeton High School and especially Monty for a well-done tournament. It was great to help the local circuit, and hopefully some of us at Princeton University can help at more local HS and MS events in the future. Nice to see some new schools made it today, too. Hope to see some familiar faces at NAQT states at Rutgers!
