SCS Nationals was in Atlanta, Georgia at Stone Summit.  We had a great time there and the team did really well.  We had 3 athletes make it this year.  Hailey got 6th in sport and 2nd in Speed.  Cole made it to semis in sport and 4th in speed.  The gym was absolutly amazing.  The walls were up to 50 feet tall and as much as 70 feet of climbing.
