This year, there were 26 teams that were interested, but only 24 could register. The 24 teams came from nine different curling clubs, the CCC being one of them. From the Columbus Curling Club were four teams. The teams were:
Rink Johnson Rink Moellman Rink Huffman Rink Hartranft
Skip, Eric Johson Skip, Ryan Moellman Skip, Adam Huffman Skip, Jeff Hartranft
Vice, Mike Pintar Vice, Jim Reinaker Vice, Bryan Wilson Vice, Alex Harnocz
2nd, Andy Hartsig 2nd, Evan Western 2nd, Ryan Greene 2nd, Vince Vidrick
Lead, Scott Conover Lead, Craig Wickman Lead, Will McLain Lead, Julie Harnocz
Skip, Eric Johson
2nd, Andy Hartsig
Vice, Mike Pintar
Lead, Scott Conover
Rink Johnson made a great showing going undefeated in the first three draws. This earned them a trip to the A Event Final, which they Won! Bringing home the title for the CCC.

Rink Moellman also made a great showing going undefeated in the first three draws. Their point total earned them a trip to the B Event Final, which they also won!
2nd, Ryan Greene
Lead, Will McLain
Skip, Adam Huffman
Vice, Bryan Wilson
(We are in height order!)
Rink Huffman started a little flat losing our first game. However, we made a great come back the rest of the spiel. We won our next two games, and earned enough points in the 3rd game to get us into the D Event Final, which we won as well!

Rink Hartranft had a great showing as well. They won their first game, but had to face Rink Johnson in their second match for a Columbus vs Columbus show down. Unfortunately, only one C-bus team could advance undefeated. Rink Hartranft then went on to win their third draw with a nice come back! Their point total for the weekend earned them 9th place for the weekend.
All four Columbus Teams finished in 9th place or better for the weekend. Of the four, three made it to an event final, and all three won their final! This really speaks to the time and dedication put in by not only each of the team members, but all the instructors at the Columbus Curling Club. We are really growing and improving with leaps and bounds!
From the information we received from Bret Jackson, the coordinator the 5 & Under Spiel, I created this point tally and bracket spreadsheet. In it, we can see how well the C-Bus teams did throughout the weekend.
