WHEREAS, Mike Damiano finished fourth in the tournament, followed closely by teammate Robbie Craft in fifth; Scott Wise finished in a tie for sixth, and Tommy Austin was tied for 11th overall; and

WHEREAS, the championship was the second for William Byrd in the past six years and the fourth for teams from the Blue Ridge District in the 1990s; and
