Awesome! 4A and 5A are going to be so competitive, with Zac, Sean, you, Nak, Bryan, Ian, Ben, etc. and for 5A with Chase, Bryan, Jake, Tyler, Miggy, etc. It’s going to be a good year! ---

3a and 4a. I feel like I’ve got more of a shot at doing well in 3a though. Haven’t been practicing 4a much. ---

I’m guessing 4a Bryan is Bryan Fig and 5a Bryan is Bryan J. I’ll be interested to see how BJ stacks up against the US. Did you forget Sam Scott, or is he not competing? If he is, that will be the first time Jake faces Sam since worlds 2013. ---
