Independent World is one of the toughest divisions to make head way in but Monarch Independent is doing just that at the 2017 WGI World Championships. The group from Houston, Texas, is competing in World Class for the first time and after Thursday's prelims performance are headed into semi finals sitting 7th overall. After watching them in the lot, it's easy to see why.



UPDATE: Monarch went on to finish 7th in the Independent World Class
