Jen was officially sponsored by Sandy, but left Sandy on the 2nd loop to
ride faster and finish with Barbara instead.  Isn't there a rule about
juniors staying with sponsors? Completion times within one minute of one
another?  Isn't that the whole purpose of sponsorship -- that there is one
adult responsible for this child, who will be right with this child
throughout the ride?  How did this happen?
