September 27th Results

1st: Wilson Southerland
2nd: Amanda Emerson
Tie for 3rd: Jonathan Lill, Jonathan Landsman, Maddy DeLeon

All five (!) winners qualify for the Finals on December 6th.

We'd also like to point out that Amanda and Wilson were tied with 10 words each; Wilson won on a runoff.  So there was a very small gap there -- well done, both of you!

See you in two weeks!
