Hi Mill Valley Chess Families,
This past weekend eight players from Mill Valley participated in the Wisconsin State Scholastic Championships sponsored by the Wisconsin Chess Association in Oshkosh. They competed in the K-5 Division against teams from 18 schools in a field of 101 participants. Together they scored 18 points to tie for 1st Place Team State Champions with New Berlin's Glen Park, but got the 2nd Place Team Trophy on tie-breaker One, 90 to 91.
Mill Valley's name goes on the traveling State Championship Trophy Cup coming to Mill Valley in 6 months. New Berlin promised to bring it to the Mill Valley tournament on May 3rd for a visit and all to see.
As individuals, Josh Bartz finished in 66th Place and Kolt Otterbacher finished in 51st position. Brian Schroeder got 33rd for a Medal with 3.5 wins. Reid Seghers finished 25th, 3rd Grader Jorin McGuire took 24th, and Chris Tillson got 18th Place, all with 4 wins for a State Championship Medal. Evan Seghers tied for 9th Place, but got the 10th Place Trophy with 4.5 wins. Gregory Reese tied for the 1st Place Individual Trophy with 5.5 wins, won it on tie-breakers, and is State Co-Champion with Sam Gorectke of New Berlin.
Congratulations to all who participated!
