SCORESHEET
I just want to thank everyone for a great meet this weekend. This meet was much better than I expected and the guys that showed up were monsters. We got guys like Jim Glassman that has been on the top for many years and Vincent brothers put a lively face on this meet. Matthew got the most attention from the audience, not only for throwing the LWFD over 70feet, but for being a real Highland game guy and not wear anything under his kilt. His brother got in a monster throw with the 25lbs stone and got 39feet. In the deadlift Ryan Bracewell was the king and smoked 725lbs raw, and got 800lbs above his knees but could not lock out. Big Jim got 725 and Andy got 700 in this awesome deadlift competition. In the shoulder medley we had an axle ,log and a 174lbs Tomas inch that they had to press with one hand. There I thought they would not lift all three but I was wrong. Andy smoked all three in only 17 seconds. We got a surprise competitor in the WFH, Travis Ortmayer wanted to jump in and throw the weights around with us and I could not say no to a big guy like that. Travis also gave away the trophies for me and I want to thank him and everyone that helped me putting this thing together. The only thing that surprised me was that none of the Highland game guys that I have been throwing against showed up for this meet. But hopefully that will change in the future because this competition is here to stay.
