Cranbrook Vex Elevation Competition

Hey Everybody,

 On Saturday, February 14th 2009, Cranbrook schools hosted their second official Vex tournament, (including last year's Bridge Battle) and it went great.  15 teams from around the region competed and it was a great event.   Though there were a few tech issues at the beginning, matches ran smoothly and everybody had a great time.  
 I would like to thank all the volunteers and extend my congratulations to the competitors who made this possible, and I have added a list of the awards given for those who are keeping track.
