Jackets and banners will be awarded to each division’s high individual and high team, and plaques will be given to second- and third-place individuals and teams. Ribbons will be given to the top-10 placings in each class.



Registration begins at 9 a.m. in Barn 3 on the day of the event with the competition kicking off at 10 a.m. Participants should come prepared with their social security numbers and a pencil.
