Six members of Team Reality attended the USA Climbing South East Regional Championship on May 12 in Atlanta, Ga. and four placed high enough to receive an invitation to the Divisional Championship in Suwannee, Ga. on June 9 & 10.

The following climbers have been invited to the USA Climbing Division 4 Championship:

• 2nd place Difficulty and Speed for Youth D Females - Hannah Montondo

• 2nd place Difficulty for Youth C Females - Abby Birrell

• 6th place for Difficulty and 4th place for Speed for Youth C Males - Alex Amalfitano

• 6th place for Difficulty Youth A Males - Tyler Jones

The Divisional 4 Championship will bring together the three regions of Southeast, Mid-Atlantic and Florida. Each region’s top six male and female Youth D, Youth C, Youth B, Youth A and Junior climbers (a total of 18 in each field) will pull hard in Saturday’s two climb qualifier to be one of the top 10 to advance to finals on Sunday. The results of Sunday’s one climb finals round will narrow the field once again to only six. The top six Division 4 male and female climbers from each field will receive and invitation to the USA Climbing National Championship in Ann Arbor Michigan, July 6-8.
