Scores have been revised and Sarah did indeed finish, albeit with a small finish penalty (too low). Still in 3rd overall, 237 pts out of 1st. Pretty darned nice going.

"It ain't over 'till it's over!" I have seen all sorts of crazy stuff
happen
on the last day or two of glider contests, especially WGC's... She's in a
good position right now, especially if others screw something up....

Like I said, I have seen strange things happen in the last day or
two of a WGC. #1 landed out... Now Sarah is 70 points out
of first place, but that will be a very tough margin to make
up, given that there are 3 Germans in the top 10, and they
will most certainly use those numbers to fly as a team to keep
a German on the top of the score sheet for tomorrow night.
They may send one out as a rabbit. They may have one
devoted to sticking with Sarah. They have a lot of options,
where Sarah has no USA team mates of her own to help her out..
You never know until it's actually over though...
