Today, the low moved out of the valley, leaving soarable conditions. Cloudbases were at 9,000 feet, rising to 11,000 feet later. The task was another assigned task, moving from callahan to Quartz Valley to R-Ranch to Callahan and return. The starters came through in one, quick spurt. Today was a pretty tough day for everybody. There were more landouts than on day one, and the winner was John Murray, who won his first national day. He said that he was all over the sky, getting high and low, and y was fun. Also, with CD Charlie Spratt being hospitalized on July 12 with a blood clot in his left leg, Nelson Funston has taken over until Charlie can return. Jae Walker moved into first today, taking the lead form Payne.
