The Meats Judgers ended out their season with a Reserve Champion title at their National contest a little over a week ago.  It was a tough lesson for this high ranking team who had been winning all semester.  There was a time error and one team member didn’t have a score counted.  Though it was disappointing for the team, who would have actually led the contest in points had the score counted, our students represented Clarendon College well and held their heads up and accepted the reserve title with grace.  We should all be proud of their success this semester and for their humble and sportsmanlike attitudes.
