That is a wrap on the 2021 WAA TCC.\u00a0 The event was held on September 17th and 18th at Erb Park in Appleton, WI.\u00a0 We had a total of 33 volunteers, 24 male competitors and 2 female competitors over the 2 day event.\u00a0 A special thank you to Dave Graham for performing the National Anthem for us on Saturday morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
About one third of the competitors this year had competed in one TCC or less. In addition about one quarter of our volunteers were also new to this year\u2019s event.\u00a0 Welcome! It was wonderful to meet all the new faces and thank you to those who took the leap. We look forward to seeing you at future events.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The event began on Friday with gear check at noon and a threat of thunderstorms.\u00a0 We ran the Belayed Speed Climb in a shagbark hickory and the Ascent Event in a beautiful red oak.\u00a0\u00a0 With the bur oak being so tall and wide, we were able to do the Ascent Event as a head to head event where 2 climbers ascended at the same time.\u00a0 This gave us the ability to get through both events in good time and gave the competitors a little added fun.\u00a0 The thunderstorms broke up and we stayed dry for a successful first day.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Saturday\u2019s events were Work Climb in a red oak, Throwline in a red oak, Aerial Rescue in a white oak, and the Master\u2019s Challenge in a white oak.\u00a0 Overall the day was behind schedule and went wonderfully! \u201cThe trees were challenging but a lot of fun,\u201d was a phrase I heard from a few competitors.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Our Master\u2019s Challenge men\u2019s competitors were Jordan Boyd, Colin Bugg, and Thomas Schumacher.\u00a0 Our women\u2019s competitors were Johanna O\u2019Boyle, our 2019 champion, and Lydia Bruning, first time competitor.\u00a0 In the end, Thomas Schumacher came in first place for the men and Johanna O\u2019Boyle was our women\u2019s champion.\u00a0 Second place men\u2019s was Jordan Boyd and second place women\u2019s was Lydia Bruning.\u00a0 Our first and second place champions received ArborMaster packages.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At our awards announcements we gave the Spirit of the Competition Award to Lazaro Romero for his positive attitude and his willingness to power through events even though things were not going as smooth as they should for him.\u00a0 Our Team Champions with the most average points was group A which included Colin Bugg, Colton Davis, Jordan Boyd, and Everette Anderson.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We want to thank our event sponsors ArbSession, Hoppe Tree Service, Gollnick and Sons Tree Service, ArborRisk Insurance, Altec, M&M Tree Service, Stephenson Tree Care, and Crawford Tree.\u00a0 Thank you to Jason\u2019s Tree Service for the use of the lift.\u00a0 Thank you to ArborMaster for the top competitor prize packages.\u00a0 Thank you to American Tree Experts and Bassett Inc. for lunches and beverages for the volunteers and competitors.\u00a0 Thank you to the City of Appleton for the use of the park, its amazing trees, and beautiful facility.\u00a0 A HUGE thank you to the volunteers and competitors for coming out, putting on a great show, and helping make the TCC a successful networking and learning event.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Overall and events standings will be posted on the WAA TCC Facebook page and the WAA website.\u00a0 We hope to see you all at the awards banquet at the Annual Conference!<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
