The champion team was the University of Illinois, coached by Brandon Klehm. Michelle Johnson with the University of Illinois said, “I am grateful to still have been able to compete this year during a pandemic. Being named High Team Overall was a great way to end the spring semester! Amy Sandschafer was awarded high individual. Amy comments, “The contest was challenging and very enjoyable! I’m very happy to be able to judge with a fantastic and close-knit team.”
