The little club that could

The Norman bridge club (usual game: 3.5 tables) is cleaning up in the ACBL's nationwide Mini-McKenney races.

In the 5-20 race, recently graduated OU student Kyle Olson is second with 248 points.

In the 20-50 race, current OU student Eric Genheimer is first with 396 points. But his position is precarious enough that he is off to Kansas City to play in the last regional of the year.

In the 200-300 race, OU professor Christian Remling is first with 404 points.

In the 500-1000 race, husband-and-wife duo Janet and Don Davis are 14th and 15th with 384 points, but looking to move up after the Kansas City regional.

Although no longer part of the Norman bridge scene, Jay Barron is a former OU student who learned bridge in Norman, so I'll brag on him anyway.  Jay played in the Phoenix nationals with Zia Mahmood and they placed 12th in the Blue Ribbon Pairs.

Congratulations, everyone.  It's been great playing with you all year.

p.s. Obviously, most of their points were gained at tournaments. Our club games award 0.8 for winning, so even if you win every week, it adds up to only 40 points.

p.s.2.  Final updates:
5-20 points KYLE OLSON With 336.79 points   ---KYLE WAS 2ND IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY   
20-50 points ERIC GENHEIMER With 511.55 points ---ERIC WAS 2ND IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY  
200-300 points CHRISTIAN REMLING With 408.18 points--- CHRISTIAN WAS 1ST IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY 
500-1000 points JANET DAVIS with 500.11 points ---JANET WAS 6TH IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY
