Wow! The Inaugural Combine for Autism was a HUGE success!

I would like to thank everyone for helping to make the Inaugural Combine for Autism a HUGE success! The rain held off until we finished all of the events. In all, we had 19 competitors (20 including Brady). I will post detailed results and pictures soon. At the end of the day, the overall winner was Jason Dray - who finished in first place in 4 of the 7 events. The Mr. Irrelevant (last place) trophy went to my step-brother Joe Milligan (Brady was not eligible for the Mr. Irrelevant trophy). Thanks for being a good sport Joe. We raised a total of $675 from the event and an additional $45 has been donated directly on our Walk Now for Autism site for a total of $720.

In addition to all of the participants and donators, I would like to thank the following people for their help during the event:

- Chris Donovan (for us of his bench and weights)
- Dustin Gardner & Mike Casasanta - our event officials and time keepers
- Katie Casasanta, Kasey Friesner, and anyone else who kept an eye on Delaney during the event
- Justin and Kasey Friesner for coordinating pizza order and all the other help in coordinating / recruiting for the event
- John Pelzer for ruining my self esteem forever by beating me in the 40

To keep the tradition alive with the Cornhole Tournament, I also knocked out a nice 15 second keg stand at the end of the night. I am planning on icing down my hammys, hips, and knees for the next week in order to complete the half marathon on May 1. I find myself getting more sore by the minute. I hope to have results posted later today.
