All Girls Tournament Up Next

After a successful day yesterday, many of the competitors look forward to the next two weekends with anticipation. Next week the girls will take to the boards to compete for an opportunity to represent the state at the Susan Polgar in Lubbock, Texas. It will be interesting to see what the numbers are like next week. Past champions Margaret Bryan of John Bapst (2006) and Sorel Edes of Orono (2008) are expected to compete.

On March 21 individual championships will be contested in five divisions: High School, High School Under 1200, Jr. High (K-8), K-6, and K-3. Favorites in the high school competition include Lucas McCain and Aaron Spencer, while Paul Rudnicki is the highest rated junior high student, Matthew Fishbein in K-6, and Soozin Cha in K-3. There are many others who have opportunities to take the titles; it should be an exciting competition. Come by the Memorial Union at the University of Maine in Orono to take in the action.
