The Standings!

The official scores are in!
I spoke earlier today with Marcello - who, after a year of planning, preparing, and executing this year's U.S. Gondola Nationals,
has more than earned a nap.
Marcello told me that his one priority today outside of sleep and spending time with his baby daughter, was to get the official scores out.

Here they are!
As they were announced in the awards ceremony,
I'm including the top five finishers in each category.
In future posts, I may include complete lists for each event.
