It was a very cold and windy day, especially at Anderson field for the field events. It was weird.....during the 40 everyone had the wind at their backs until it was my turn and the wind was right in my face for both runs (hence the 6 flat). In the first time, we had a repeat winner.....Brian Stocker (age 39) won the combine for the 2nd consecutive year, posting in the top 3 in every event. Congratulations to Brian!
We had a couple event records set.
- Bryan "Grandpa" Davis (age 49), the oldest participant in the history of the event tied the record in the 3 cone drill with a time of 7.53 seconds
- Tyler Pensyl (age 31) set a new record for the bench press, doing 50 reps!
Tom Duncan (age 39) received the honor of Mr. Irrelevant this year, given to the last place finisher. There were a couple of miscalculations when we presented the results. It was determined later that Natalie Stocker (the wife of the champion) was actually last place, but since she was the only female to participate, we feel that Tom is the deserving Mr. Irrelevant.

We will be posting pictures from the event soon.
Special thanks to Steve Hall and Kevin Richards for seving as monitors at Anderson field and to Chris "I'm slow on the trigger when Derrick runs his 40" Jagers for serving as the official time keeper. And thanks to Brian Byrne / Byrne's Pub for donating a keg of Labatt for the cause.....and anyone else I might have forgot.
Thanks again and we look forward to seeing you at the next Cornhole tournament in August.
