In the hotly contested N24, Jo and Cooter placed 5th out of 26 with a score of 67.61% (less than 1% off the class winner), with Sharon Wood and Molly taking 8th place with 65.65%. Sharon also placed 7th in P7 (Team) with 66.82%.

Juliet Messenger and Mac placed 10th in P7 (individual) with 64.09% despite Mac’s disapproval of the weather conditions.
