posted Aug 6th, 2012 - The Northern Plains Skydiving League completed the 4th and last meet of the 2012 season last weekend at Skydive Superior. New NPSL Director Al BeVier ran the first three meets of the year at Skydive Twin Cities and from a Twin Otter. However, he was planning to spread the NPSL word more across his region and invited the NPSL teams and competitors to a different hosting DZ this time.

A Class team Random Blocks eventually turned out to be the only NPSL team who attended all four meets of the 2012 season after making the trip to Skydive Superior last weekend. Three other NPSL teams competed for the third time this year and jumped from the DZ's PAC this time.

Random Blocks also had a new team member in the lineup last weekend. Tracey Loney Holesek attended her first 4way competition with just over 100 jumps total and after coming back from a longer injury break.

Robert Chromy was the coach for the meet, and he had to take care of six teams who made the trip to the shores of the big Lake Superior. He was also the judge of the meet and reported that most of the teams competed only on Saturday. However, a few teams came back for a few more rounds on Sunday to make up for the rainy Saturday morning.

Skydive Superior is family owned for generations, and Mark Androwsky recruited a home lineup for the meet. Skydive Soup signed up for the A Class competition and finished one single point ahead of the Wissota Beavers in 1st place after four rounds at the team's first meet. The home team then completed two more rounds on Sunday while the Beavers traveled back to their own home.

The A Class teams had a good NPSL battle going on Saturday, and three of the four teams claimed a highscore for a round. The 182s' 5-pointer in Round 2 was also the team's highest score of the 2012 season.
