But August has mostly been beautiful with very un-Augustlike comfortable temperatures and low humidities. However, Saturday started out very much like August with high temperatures and tons of humidity presenting our six teams with challenging jumping conditions. But Meet 4, our final meet of the season, still started on time at Skydive Chicago.
While AAA Class team CSC Rhythm XP and AA Class team Just4Fun each had local competition at their last two meets, today both would be the sole MWSL representatives... (more)
