Would have loved to have been on site, but here are the next best 2020 option.
2019 National Champion, Honor Allen, wins bragging rights in 2020 with a phenomenal 24 oyster shucking time in informal competition. Honor will represent the United States in Galway, Ireland in 2021, having been unable to attend in 2020.
