San Diego Nationals (May 2012)

Harelson Chess Team was represented this weekend at The U.S. Chess Federation (USCF) Junior High National Chess Tournament during the 3 Day 7 Round Tournament.

Drew, Ethan, and Quinn faced tough competition in the under 1,000 section and placed 19th as a team of three (Points are added based on the best four scores, so our perfect score could be three out of four wins).  Tyler played in the under 750 section.  We are so proud of our team!
