A Successful Tether Climb

It doesn't seem to be covered very well on the jumbo screens and program, but the University of Michigan tether team apparently had a successful climb in the Challenge. Go Blue!

I had heard earlier that two of the Canadian teams had dropped out. They didn't win the prize, though, because there was too much wind, and they couldn't meet the speed requirements with the tether jittering around. This scoop brought to you by my old...errrrrr, I mean long-time (she's actually my age, within a few days) friend Margaret Jordan, who just came over to the press tent to tell me.
