Katie O'Banion, age 17,was a judge at one of the marble pads as boys and girls competed for trophies at the marble event this past Saturday at Lincoln Park in Grand Junction. O'Banion, now too old for competition, received the National Best Sport Award. She had competed for eight years.
Anna Lee was undefeated as she took first in the girls' section. John Blair, shooting for this, his last year of eligibility, took first in the boys' competition. These two are now best in the state. Nationals will be held in this summer in New Jersey. There are other competitions scheduled.
The City of Grand Junction is moving the three marble pads to the north side of the fence around the water-slide at the park. A stage is being built by the City where the present pad is located.
