I would take lack of medals over the marathon in D4.
Indeed!
Emporia was crowded and it was tough to hear the announcements, but waiting a few days for medals isn't a big deal IMO. Hat-tip to Lance for owning up to what I consider a simple, harmless mistake. Though I didn't like having 10yo's on a 1/4 mat, I'm glad we were all out at a reasonable time.
