Day 2 for the Washington delegation (we ignore--mostly because we forget anything that happened in the fog of jet-lag) is also day 1 of competition: Just Juniors. The seniors scattered to far & wide corners of DC, visiting congresspeople, seeing the sights, and generally relaxing before judging Tuesday.
We'll get to the seniors later. For now, the spotlight is on our junior contingent, all of whom did exceptionally well. Advancing to the national contest is a huge honor, and everyone did incredibly well. Go Team Washington!!!
