1 Marco Arriagada (Chile)
2 Luca Barrazutti (Ecuador)
3 Mark Ernsting (Canada)


Unfortunately, tragedy struck soon after the event. Lori-Ann, feeling under the weather with a cramp in her side, underwent surgery on Wednesdey of this week, for appendicitis. Lori-Ann is out for the rest of the season, undoubtedly a tough bite to swallow, as she was primed and prepped for the World Championships. However, she'll be good and ready for 2003.

We wish her a speedy recover, and big congratulations on her many successes in 2002.
