Alexander JOHNSON USA
...
4th in the Junior LP At Liberty (Mahbanoozedeh was first ) scoring 109.49
1st in the Junior SP at Liberty (ahead of Mahbanoozedeh) scoring 60.35 (Total then would be 169.84)

Keegan MESSING USA
...
Keegan skated in the Senior SP at Liberty this summer. He scored 51.19
He also skated the Junior SP at Liberty where he scored 53.44 and finished 3rd.
Clarification on 2008 Liberty results -- the Junior Men skated an initial SP and FS and the top combined scorers advanced to a Final FS round.
Alexander Johnson scored 60.35 (1st in SP) + 111.74 (2nd in FS) = 172.09 (1st overall). He then scored 109.49 in Final Round FS for 4th place (behind Mahbanoozadeh, Roger Corvasce and Grant Hochstein).
Keegan Messing scored 53.44 (3rd in SP) + 118.44 (1st in FS ahead of Johnson) = 171.88 (2nd overall). Messing elected not to skate the Final Round FS.

The Anchorage (Alaska) Daily News did a very nice article on Keegan Messing after he caused a splash at 2007 U.S. Nationals by winning the Novice Men's free skate and the bronze medal. He was credited with landing a triple Axel (with one or both hands down) in the FS. I just dug out the original URL and am pleased to find the article online still!

I'm going with 24 as the magic number. There are six within that range so Sheffield should give us two and I think there will be more. So Tie Breakers!!!
