Dustin - This was back in March of this year, Which dude are you asking about? The Guy in the shorts is Brent Rakers, the other kid id my younger brother Tom Dixon.
Erick - Yes, he was 17, like I said 1 month before his 18th b-day
Clint - Brent is from IL, yes he is a 198 puller, I think he was in the 210 range at this tourny, My brother is around 220 and he is from IA, near Omaha, has the body composition to make 198's but in his Juniors class at worlds it is 176+, he was the second smallest in his class at worlds last year at 210. The largest kid has 100lbs on him

Todd your " little" brother looks to be a force in the 200s. bringin him to ROTN? ? We are debating that, probably , but we talked and cutting down that close to worlds may hurt him more than help him win money. If he feels healthy where he is at there is no sense in changing that for now, the class he is in is 176+ so he can weigh 800lbs .. since this is his last year as a junior we are letting him do as he wishes. Next year the push to maintain weight |

Holy crap, so much potential, I think I am good being a lightweight for now.
But hey if you know of any other tournaments like that one in Iowa would you let me know? Even if they are small I may go and I know some other MN guys who probably would.
