California 2012 Meet #4 & Season Results – CA

The fourth and final meet of the 2012 CRCPL was held on Saturday September 8th, 2012 at Skydive Sacramento. The winds were a bit higher than previous meets but it didn’t stop the competition from moving forward and getting all six rounds in. There were 19 competitors with 12 competing in the Pro category and 7 competing in the advanced group. Alex Cashman and Cynthia Currie both competed in their first canopy piloting competition, with Alex getting a cameo in Good Day Sacramento’s news broadcast of the competition.

After the competition was over, the judges compiled the results not only for the meet, but for the season ending awards. Adrenaline Obsession was on hand to provide special awards for Distance, Accuracy, and Speed. Adrenaline Obsession along with the league provided a BBQ for all of the league members, judges, DZ staff, and jumpers to celebrate the end of a great 2012 season. The BBQ was complete with night pond swoops and full altitude night jumps.

We can’t thank Skydive Sacramento and DZO Pat Garcia enough, along with all of our volunteer judges. Our volunteer judges really make these meets happen. The league is working on plans to have our head judge, Will McDaniel, certified as a regional judge for next season. Stay tuned for dates for the 2013 season. Stay safe out there and we’ll see you next year!
