Actually I had broken Miriam's record last year at the Michigan
Convention, so Susan broke my record for the 120 m, not Miriam's. Susan
also broke my record from last year for the 30 m in our 50-59 age
group, as well as bettering Nancy Pistole's and Rebecca Jones' records
in their age groups for the 120 m:

Susan broke the records by a lot, with extraordinary times! It was my
pleasure to
meet Susan (and Rune) at Convention this year. Congratulations to both for
their awards!

Susan Souby from Austin won the women's 30 m rope climbing contest in
the "sit-stand" category, using the Frog system. Her time was 1 minute
39 seconds. It was a close competition, with a 19 year-old doing it in
1 minute 40 seconds. When the 19 year-old found out that she lost to a
woman in the 50 to 60 year-old age group, she tried again, but her time
was even slower.
Having barely broken a sweat or breathing hard, Susan later climbed the
120 m rope in 10 minutes and ?? seconds, breaking the women's record by
about 5 minutes. The old record was held by Miriam Cuddington.
CONGRATULATIONS SUSAN!
(As Bill Mixon mentioned, Susan's husband Rune Burnett was designated a
Fellow and received the NSS Conservation Award. Like Susan, he is also
older than 19.) Texas cavers were well represented by this couple.
