Day 1 at a regional event is usually unbag/inspection/panic/practice day. Lately, the team has been pretty good about passing inspection quickly, which then means that we can hit up the practice fields early and often. For example, in the 2018 season, we went from unbag to inspected in about 45 minutes, a new team record!

Driving through NYC traffic up through New Jersey, we arrived at Rockland Community College to compete in the Hudson Valley Regional.
