The NEO 2011 is in the books and Tebo a deserved winner. The battle for 2nd place was very hot !
Easton barely missed the bump up to the main finals and ended in 19th overall. Most qualifying was around 12th to 15th spot, which in this world-class field is a good result. The set-up changed made for the semi, did not bring the extra edge to bump up.
