Get your pom-poms out and start chanting I-D-A-H-O (or at least mouth it if you are at the tournament!). Savanna Nacarrato, of Sandpoint, Idaho is enjoying her visit to the 2011 Susan Polgar Girls' Invitational which is hosting 46 participants from around the country. [She currently has 2.0 points and is paired with Annastasia Wyzywany in round 3 (post: Wed., July 27.] [Savanna won her game against Ms. Wyzywany, a class A player from Louisiana, and is now entering round 4 with 3.0 points and a pairing with Mandy Lu of Michigan. She is tied with four other girls and Idahoans are all pulling for her with three rounds left to play!(post: Thurs., July 28)] [Results were released for Round 4 and 5 which were tougher for her. Savanna was paired with Maggie Fen in round 5, but still has a chance to improve her standings in the final round. She is currently in 9th place and is paired with Joy Chen for round 6 - each with 3.0 points. The sole leader, Apurva Virkud has 5.0 points. We are very proud of Savanna's efforts and representation.(post: Thurs., July 28)] The tournament finished today and Savanna won her last game for a total of 4.0 pts. and a 9th placement. This was a job well done and I do believe her first experience competing at this level of play. As she is a ninth grader, we look forward to seeing more of Savanna representing Idaho, her family, and herself at other prestigious events. Good luck, Savanna!
