CCL performs well at National HS Championship

The top CCL finishers in the National HS tournament were Maggie Feng, Chris Shen, and Vikram Srivastava who each scored 5.5/7, finishing in a tie for 10^th place.  Based on tiebreaks, they finished in 24^th, 26^th, and 27^th places respectively.   I am hopeful for a CCL National HS champion in the future as these 3 players are in 8^th, 5^th, and 9^th grades.

We had a very fine finish by 3^rd grader Emma Cheng in the U-1600 section who tied for 2^nd place with 5 wins, 1 draw, and 1 bye.  Also of note was a nice tournament by Mark Carroll who gained 157 rating points and Dominic Mayhew who gained 113 rating points.
