CHAMPIONSHIP WINNERS AND OTHERS
  Sparky's Runaround Sue, owned by Norman Ahl of Tucson, Arizona and handled by Jimmy Berneathy, ran the tree lines to perfection.  Watered at the cattle tank at 10, Sue made a long forward cast all the way across the big meadow at the south end of the course.  On the west side Sue worked the tree line all the way to the end at a very fast pace, always to the front.  At the end of the tree line she made a long cast across the open meadow to chukar island.  At chukar island Sue was on a mission with finds at 27 and 32.  Watered at 38, she continued with finds at 42 and 47.  At this time she made a huge cast across the open meadow to the gun dog course where she had finds at 50 and 54.  Every find was exciting and her style and intensity on point were of the highest caliber.  A worth champion with a truly great race.

  The runner-up came from the seventh brace.  Lobo's Legend was handled by Scott Johnson, and the third place dog, Countess Mon Petite Whiz, was handled by Kevin Stonehouse.  Released at 10:19 Wednesday both dogs made huge casts out into the open meadow before returning to run the tree lines.  At 6 Whiz looked good pointing but only had feathers.  At 34 Lobo's Legend pointed with Whiz backing, a very nice3 find.  At 36 we had a divided find, both dogs looking good, but Whiz took a minor step, probably the difference in this brace.  Both dogs had huge finishing casts.
