LIGRC's 9/22/07 Trial

This is the first of what I hope will be many posts sharing the news from SNAP students about their Qs and titles at agility trials throughout the year. Future posts will be composed from information sent to me directly from our students, in an effort to be accurate and to not forget someone. But since this is the first post I am doing it from memory. I apologize in advance if I forget someone.
