My Answer: No
The Yes/No question last week was: Will Josh Moen win AND break the course record at the Afton 25K? The answer was no - Moen finished third. Nineteen players answered correctly this week. Gloria Jansen is still in first place and has eighteen points, followed closely by Mike Mason with seventeen points. There are three with sixteen points (Ryan Aylesworth, Heather Jelen and Evan Roberts).
