Harvard Results (nothing like being first out)

Finally we got official results in Congress and Tess joined the others in being first out of elimination rounds!  That is the problem at Harvard-you can do most everything right and still not clear because of the huge numbers.  Congress had 400, Extemp 194, PF 270ish and LD 325ish.  Those are huge numbers.  A 4-2 record at Harvard does you no good unless you had perfect speaker points.  Taylor is a great case in point--she had about her best speaks ever in a major tournament but was 4-2 and did not clear.
