2000 Super Grip Challenge
(Results below)
The second annual Super Grip Challenge was held Saturday, May 20, 2000
at Bethany Park, in Lincoln, Nebraska. The number of lifters increased from 7
to 11 this year, with lifters from Nebraska, Missouri, and Wisconsin. We started
out with the Capt. of Crush this year, and got to see Kevin Fulton close the
number 3 again.
This year there were two divisions, heavy and middleweight, with heavy being
anyone over 95 kilos (209.4 lbs). The farmer's walk was a little easier, as
Kevin had ground off the edges off the gripping surfaces, so at least we could
hang onto the tractor weights. Once again Kevin won this event, but this time
it was barely by .5 seconds over Parker Ashworth. Look for Parker to do good
things in the future, as he has a lot of brute strength, just had some problems
doing some of the events, which he had not seen before.
Once again, everyone had a great time. The events were hard, but fun, everyone
was helpful, and Mrs. Burk's cookies were great. Look for the Challenge again
next year.
