The Western NE District Event returned to Western New England University for the 6th time, welcoming teams from Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont and New Hampshire.
Special thanks to our event chair Dr. Christian Salmon for introducing incoming University president Dr. Joseph Hartman and to both for welcoming our teams on Saturday morning!
Local media had great coverage of the entire weekend. See our Press Room for the articles!
This third event of the weekend was our last to finish: our field resetters inspired us with their hours of energy!
The event ended with a New England HIGH SCORE of 573 in Finals 2! How many matches will play in the coming weeks before it's overtaken?
