Walton Strikes Again!

We had another great weekend in the world of small business plan competitions.

Ground Up (Keith Solsvig, Josh McCullough, Brandon Barr, Cesar Coto) won the Walmart sustainability competition and $20,000 on Friday. They beat a team from the University of Virgina in the finals. This team from Virginia has been successful, winning several national competitions thus far. The Ground Up team beat a team from Louisville in the semis. Louisville has also won previous national competitions.

Tears for Life (Jared and Jordan Greer, Chris Elizer, Bessie Williams) won the Tulane competition and $20,000. This team beat two teams that have previously won national competitions, including the team that beat them at Louisville. Ah, sweet revenge.
