Got a clean 6 bird, 6 shot run. After the doubles run today, she is so far the top dog. However, there are over 10 doubles runs...

If you look at the running order, you will notice that Ron is running 5 runs on Thurs. 4 are 20 min each and 1 is 30 min doubles. He then has 4 runs on Friday, 2 @ 20 min and 2 @ 30 min.
