... that Z-Hills PreciZion added three points to Florida's Indoor Cloud League March account?

Bob Byrne - Lee Perera - Hal Spence - Donna Kim
posted Mar 27th, 2016 - Florida's Indoor Cloud League team used their third March meet at iFLY Orlando to improve this month's total from 120 to 136 points.

The distance to the Czech Sportflight team at the Hurricane Factory in Prague is closer than it has been for a long time; however, it is still only enough for the 2nd place on the March leaderboard at the moment.

iFLY Orlando's Rookie Class lineup (Lee Perera and Donna Kim, with player coaches Hal Spence and Bob Byrne) improved the previous scores for the R and RR sequences by a total of 13 points. Two other lineups worked on the AAA/AA techniques and sequences last Thursday and ended up tied with each other in both categories. Neither of the two lineups was able to improve iFLY Orlando's AAA/AA Class scores, and the 18-pointer from March 10th is the final AAA Class word.

However, the Florida group got help from a new team that is home at Skydive City, Z-Hills PreciZion. Three 4-way competitors who grew up with iFLY Orlando's Indoor Cloud League events (Erika Gorski, Rebecca Maureen Ugo, Jimmy Xu) have hired player coach Sally Hathaway for the 2016 season.

PreciZion has started with the 2016 training, which included a March indoor training camp at iFLY Chicago. The new team performed the Indoor Cloud League AA Class sequence for this month during the training camp and provided the video.

The new 14-foot flying chamber in Chicago supported the performance of the March sequence better than the 12-foot chamber at iFLY Orlando, and PreciZion turned the previous 18-pointer into a 21-pointer for the AA Class sequence.

21-pointer for Florida: Z-Hills PreciZion
Last week's AA Class lineups at iFLY Orlando scored higher than the earlier 18-pointer of March 10th too, however, Precision's 21-pointer was a welcomed improvement by three points.

The Mortal Enemies lineup (Steve Hubbbard, Jim Prochaska, Jimmy Xu, Alix Raymond) at the Paraclete XP Indoor Championship 2016 had tried earlier to improve Florida's AA Class score during the warm-up sessions for the indoor competition in Raeford, and they had tied Florida's previous 18-pointer. Z-Hills PreciZion members Rebecca Maureen Ugo and Jimmy Xu had also competed together for Mortal Enemies at SkyVenture New Hampshire's annual indoor competition on January 9th.

Erika Gorski and Rebecca Maureen Ugo were team mates with Zhills TranZend last year, and Sally Hathaway was coaching the team. Former Southern Mix XP member Jimmy Xu recently moved to the Orlando area, helped out with DeLand 3D in 2015 and has joined the Skydive City team for the 2016 season.
