The North American Championships is held every two years, alternating between the USA and Canada; this year it was in Cranbrook, British Columbia. Part of the event is a competition between the U.S. and Canadian teams for the Björn Kjellström Cup. Our record in this has been a very long series of second places, as the last time we won was in 1982, 28 years ago, when our winning team was Steve Tarry, John Rogers, Sharon Crawford, and Gail Gagarin.
