NOTE: Corrected results posted Sun 2/18 - Several corrections to the original posted results have been published - the corrections had no effect on event or class combined medals or Divisions Cup results. The original AC data incorrectly had SG run times rounded to hundredths; all AC results have been reposted with the correct SG times. One correction was made to the C/D results - Scott Pyles (M10, CN) contacted us to report that he should have been recorded DSQ1 in the C/D GS; the correction moved Greg Gill and Anthony Bouscaren up one place to 6th and 7th positions, respectively. [Thank you Scott for your sportmanship and consideration for correct reporting of your competitors results!]
