Friday Evening Target Jump
The Target Jump was decided in three rounds with 0fficials setting a target distance first at 60 meters, then at 65 and finally at 68.5. The field of competitors was cut down for each round, and skiers were free to choose any of the start points at the top of the tower. The winner was the jumper who came closest to the target distance, without exceeding it. (Anyone jumping past the target distance was disqualified.)
Churchill Brothers Builders of Sharon CT put up a purse of $500 for the winner. Andrew Bliss of Lake Placid gave his competitors no margin for error, landing exactly at the target distance in all three rounds. In a very generous move, Andrew announced Sunday evening that he would split his winnings between SWSA and Eastern Ski Jumping.

New Award Established
Mark Levasseur does it again!
A few years ago, Mark Levasseur established a new award in honor of Sig Evensen, long time friend of ski jumping. The award goes annually to the winner of the Junior Class crown at the Eastern Championships.
This year Mark was at it again as he established another award to be given each year to the winner of the Masters Class at the Eastern Championships. This award is named the Earle Murphy and Don West award in honor of two long-time Eastern Master Jumpers who have had significant impacts on the sport.
The honor was a surprise to both Earle and Don.
2008 Eastern USSA Ski Jumping Championships
[Final JO Qualifier]
Sunday, February 10
An intense Sunday morning snow squall dropped a few inches of moist fluff on the north-west corner of Connecticut. Officials and the SWSA crew cleared the new snow off the track and packed it onto the landing while the competitors ski-packed the outrun. To give the landing a little extra smoothing and speed, organizers used a new way to introduce the competitors -- the jumpers skied down the landing one by one as the announcer called the names.

The competition ran quickly with just 21 competitors and only a few brief holds for wind or a fall, so as an extra treat for the spectators, SWSA organizers put up a cash prize for another target jump, this time a one-round event, winner take all, and the winner was Jonathan Kling.
Three Annual Awards:
Cicily Hajek and Peter Frenette
with the Ladies Cup.
Andrew Bliss put a second
leg on the big SWSA Cup.
Sven Evensen and Bliss
with the Sig Evensen Award.
The Ladies Cup is awarded annually to Sunday's highest point-getter not in the competitive class of the champion "in memory of Charlotte Satre Torrissen in honor of the women who graciously support SWSA."
The SWSA Cup, successor to the Satre Cup, is engraved with the name of the Sunday winner, who can take home the trophy if he wins three times.
The Sig Evensen Memorial Award goes annually to the winner of the Junior Class competition in the Eastern Championships.
The new Earle Murphy and Don West Award goes to the winner of the Masters Class competition in the Eastern Championships.
