New Year’s Season Kickoff - Fri Eve Jan 3, 2025
Our season formally began on the first Sunday in January, with our John R Lyons
and Camilla Jacobson Memorial Tournament. Scores on Sched/Results page.
Originally named for a long-time club member, competitor, also dad and
grandpa to several generations of SPSC jumpers, John R Lyons, it now also
recognizes the life of Camilla (Coco) Jacobson, daughter of Ty & Veronica
Jacobson and granddaughter of Jack & LeeAnn Myhra. Coco passed away in
August of 2021.
Our tournament began with two competition rounds on our smallest jump, the
10 meter (K10) with our youngest jumpers. That was followed by two rounds on
each of our larger jumps, featuring more experienced riders. The larger jumps
are 20 meter (K20), 30 meter (K30), and 46 meter (K46). It was a bit cold, but
sunny, and the tournament showcased some of the region’s best jumpers in all
age classes.
The photo below is the inrun of our K46 jump decorated for this memorial
event.
