It's a chance for each competitor to recognize their favorite athlete of the competition whether or not that person ends up on the podium.

I felt like I had a good chance, but when you get up here, the competition is the best in the state.

We think we have a chance. It's been a definite step up in competition. There are so many good teams out there at this level. I am going to try and have the best year I can and then move to Texas. From there we will just have to see how it goes.

Despite the best efforts of the F.C.C. to create competition, after the bubble burst, there weren't any competitive alternative to the Bells. Now that the cable operators are able to offer voice service to complement their high-speed data, commercial services are a cherry waiting to be picked.

Competition on the team will be keen. This year, we have a good chance for a lot of different lineups.

Ally Glasser and James Moody have a chance to place. But this is a very good competition for experience. There will be strong individuals from all over the country competing.
