Did You Know...

... that JaNette Lefkowitz posted a 29.9 average in Singapore 2012?

posted Oct 11th, 2014 - The story of the highest 4-way meet average posted by a female 4-way competitor is not over yet, and it has become even more interesting.

The Sun Path Products NSL News found Christy Frikken as the winner after studying the archives, as the story on 9 October 2014 explained. Arizona Airspeed's former point Eliana Rodriguez was the favorite in the poll results, and Katie Woods was in 2nd place. Christy Frikken turned out to be a surprise for the audience.

The Sun Path Products NSL News had not even found the most valuable meet average of Perris Fury's former center outside. The 29.8 average at the World Challenge 2010 was "only" a copy of the same number posted a year earlier at the Paraclete XP Indoor Championship 2009, where Christy Frikken, Chris Farina, Uli Steuwe and Josh Hall did not have the support of a Super Sequence with only random formations. The leaderboard in 2009 included a fast sequence (9,K,P,C) in Round 1. However, the 52-pointer was nothing compared to the 66-pointer in Bedford a year later.

The story was still not over after finding Christy Frikken's 29.8 averages in 2009 and 2010. The winner of this news quest was actually completely unexpected. Only 3% of the audience saw a chance that JaNette Lefkowitz could be the female top scorer in history.

The Sun Path Products NSL News had SDC Rhythm XP's center outside on the list as a candidate. However, the winner was declared without enough proper research. JaNette Lefkowitz posted the highest meet average of all female 4-way competitors in history - unless another unknown result can be found.

SDC Rhythm XP finished with a 29.9 average at the iFLY Singapore competition in December 2012, which beats Christy Frikken's 29.8 averages by one single 10th of point.

SDC Rhythm XP in Singapore 2012
It is once again difficult to compare the results with each other, as the competition format in Singapore was different. It was an 11-round meet without any Super Sequences. The fastest sequence (C,F,P,6) came in Round 9 and produced a 44-pointer as the highscore. Three of the slower blocks (4,8,20) were not in the dive pool, while three additional random formations were drawn again for the last three rounds, the "finals".

However, SDC Rhythm XP outscored Evolution, who competed for the first time with the lineup that now won the bronze medals at the FAI World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2014. Rhythm competed with a lineup at the iFLY Singapore competition in December 2012 that was unique and would never show again anywhere.

Chris Farina competed one more time with Rhythm before accepting Arizona Airspeed's center inside slot. Uli Stuwe was his piece partner in the tail slot, as both had done it for several years with Perris Fury. Rhythm tail Thiago Gomes was not available in Singapore. He would join Chris Farina with Airspeed shortly after the indoor meet. This unique lineup produced the 11-round 29.9 average for JaNette Lefkowitz.
