BLOG CHECK IN + Bonus Mary Wash ITA Belated Recap

I’m restarting this article on 11/29/2016, because you haven’t heard from us in probably two months now.  Let’s go through a quick questionnaire on why this has happened.

MIT Invitational Recap

Lost in the past weekend of #Surprise(s) and Small College Nationals was the MIT Invitational. While this is not a new tournament, it might as well have been this fall.

But, I’ll only be talking about one of those four things (the tears…just kidding). The format of this recap is going to be a bit different than…

NE ITA RECAP

Another New England ITA, another showcase of the best depth the country has to offer. I’ll save the ramblings for the recap itself, but congrats to both Lubomir Cuba and Kyle Wolfe/Jerry Jiang on taking home the hardware.
