posted Sep 16th, 2004 - The final meet of the Carolina Skydiving League 2004 was held at Carolina Sky Sports on September 11. Good weather and a fast FrankenOtter allowed the twelve registered teams to complete all of the scheduled rounds with time to spare. A special thanks to the hosts of the meet, Paul and Nancy Fayard, for providing excellent facilities, staff and aircraft for a safe and successful weekend.

Loose Change with 42 points, a pick up team with Steve Johnson, Stuart Wood, Kim Walker and Sherry Copley, won the bronze medal.

All of the videographers did a superb job, which made choosing one for the Best Camera award a real challenge. We should all be thankful to have such a talented pool of videographers committed to providing the judges with the best video possible. This meet's Best Camera award went to Rich Altan of Insane in the Plane.

I would like to thank all of the competitors and the drop zones who helped make this a successful season. I hope to see all of you next year, and bring your friends.

Thank you, Randy Garman, CaSL Director
