posted Jun 22nd, 2020 - The Arizona Skydiving League followed up on the restart of the Southern California Skydiving League a week later and added fresh scores to the June leaderboard. Eliana Rodriguez and Michelle Karamon were back at Skydive Arizona to help the participating teams as much as possible with coaching, guidance and adding new scores to the leaderboard. They both have their own team projects for the remainder of the 2020 season and use their free time to run the ASL events.

Eliana Rodriguez said that she enjoyed seeing many of the usual faces come back after the long break: "Fortunately the heat didn't keep them away."

There were also three new ASL 4-way competitors at the meet last weekend. Former Dallas 350 member Jens Groenemeyer was in town for a few days and joined one of the younger ASL teams. Eliana Rodriguez said that the COVID Team they had a blast with him: "Nick Pierceall, who is newer to 4-way and did a great job today, was team mates with Jens Groenemeyer."

She also pointed out that Larsen and Brusgaard were once again very generous and donated Pro Track 2 this time, which was raffled off to the competitors. AZ Defiance member Karlee King was the lucky winner of the L & B prize.

AZ Defiance was within striking distance of the Southern Californian teams all the way through the six rounds and ended up only four points behind the 1st place. Jason Jones was filling the tail slot for Joe Howard who was in the January lineup. Jason Jones and Joe Howard have both competed with AZ Defiance since 2016, including last year's ASL meets.

AZ Windf... were almost back with the same lineup that had attended the first ASL meet this year, the 2020 season opener in January (Beth Bryan, Bekie Thompson, Jonathan Perl). LeAnne Schwab, a regular ASL visitor from Colorado, completed the Windf... lineup last weekend.

Eliana Rodriguez and Michelle Karamon said that the June meet was Beth Bryan's final Arizona Skydiving League meet, as she will be moving soon.

The Arizona Skydiving League will also miss Tripp Schwab in the future. He announced his retirement from skydiving on Saturday:

"We want to thank Tripp Schwab for all his awesome video work during our league over the past year and a half. We are more than honored to have his last jump be at our league event. Thank you, Tripp, and we look forward to seeing you around on the ground."
