I humbly begin this post with the sincerest apology that I can offer. We had a handful of minor mathematical boo-boos in the overall Nationals results, and one that was not at all minor. Since I was the guy wrestling with the laptop, I take full responsibility for this.
I have now dropped a new set of complete results in the files section of this group. But, I must specifically address one major piece of this correction.
Our 2008 US K-1W National Champion is, in fact, Mackenzie Hatcher. And Lane Errickson takes second in K-1W class. I am well aware that this is heart-breaking news for Lane, but this is the result that the race data demand. Karen Blom, our gracious Nationals Race Director, either has, or will soon be contacting both Lane and Mackenzie by phone.
There were two or three other minor adjustments, but none that affect results in a highly-material way.
Mistakes happen, and Karen and I are doing all that we can to address this in a responsible and timely manner. Please trust that I, and the Wildwater Board will proactively do all that we can to keep things like this from happening in the future.
And once again, congrats to all of our US Nationals participants.
