Word is the Wolverines have a unique design, and obviously were well prepared in regard to the rules etc. etc. Further word indicates that it was practically a tie for 1st and 2nd place between the two at the top, so State isn't too far behind.
Thanks to Mr. Schmidt and the boys & gals at Kalamazoo.
