Recipients of the CRO Lifetime Achievement Award have earned a Grand Championship in the Dance Division (no longer open for entries) or the Rally Division. For Dance Division, this entailed 35 Qs (21 Fixed Dance Pattern Qs and 14 Free Dance Pattern Qs). For Rally Division, the team completes championships at all five levels (50 Qs).
This award has been presented to the following teams:
Sue and Charm
Sue created the most unique free dance patterns imaginable. Each pattern had a specific theme expressed through the pattern itself, the choreography, and Charm’s clever interactions with a variety of props. Charm was a most willing dance partner, playing characters from baseball star to royalty. In addition to their Dance Division Grand Championship, this team holds a P-CRO-CH in the Rally Division (Performance Track).
Vanessa and Kirby
Kirby liked to do things her way, but she loved rally and (usually) followed Vanessa’s cues. This Performance Division team used a mix of standard CRO courses and Handler Created Courses, working in training facilities, their yard, and even their garage, to complete championships at every level of CRO rally. Their P-CRO-CH was earned with all perfect scores. In addition to their Rally Division Grand Championship, this team holds a D-CRO-CH in the Dance Division (Fixed Pattern).
