Sally Ringer, Heather Richardson and Christine Allen are sponsored by The Electric Cooperatives of South Carolina (Statewide). Since most co-ops do not allow family members to compete for the Youth Tour, Statewide sponsors the children and grandchildren of co-op employees and board members. Sally is the daughter of Youth Tour coordinator Vicki Ringer, an employee at Statewide; Heather is the daughter of Mike Richardson, an employee at Santee Electric; and Christine is the daughter of Charlie Allen, an employee at Black River Electric. Other connections to our co-op family included Cody Lever, son of Linda Lever, an employee at Newberry Electric, Cody's sponsoring co-op; and Flint Burton, nephew of Sue Burton, an employee at Little River Electric which sponsored Flint.
