Oops! completing the St. Louis Scorecard

The Fall issue of Juggler's World gave short shrift to the winners of the Numbers championships in St. Louis. A photo of Anthony Gatto announced that he won all three individual events, but didn't emphasize the full measure of his accomplish­ments. Gatto actually set new IJA records in all three events he entered, eclipsing marks he set himself at the 1989 festival. The new marks are: in balls, 60 catches with 9; in rings, 43 catches with 9; and in clubs 230 catches with 7.

 

None of the Team Numbers winners set new records, but they were totally left out of the Fall issue and we'd like to recognize them now. The winners were:

 

• Balls - Allen Knutson & Jack Boyce (160 catches with 11);

• Rings - Alex & Nick Karvounis (92 catches with 10);

• Clubs - Alex & Nick Karvounis (388 catches with 9).

 

In addition, the previous issue called for unlisted winners of the Combat competition to step forth and take a bow, since those results were misplaced after the competition. Mike Sackett of Kent, Ohio, was kind enough to let us know that he won the novice division of that event.
