I almost forgot:
Mr. Klemba, I believe Gary Kessler sent you a message about this on Sunday, however here it is again in the event that you did not see it. When I went to show my wife my 2nd place plaque on Sunday after driving 6 hours home after the tourney and getting in after midnight, I noticed that the little gold plate read "1st" instead of "2nd." Apparently whoever was handing out trophies gave me yours. I am hoping that you have mine too. Could you please send me a message confirming that you have mine, and also give me your address so that I can mail your 1st place plaque to you? As nice as it is to have a 1st place Nationals trophy, it needs to go to its rightful owner, and I will gladly take my losers trophy in return.

Haha, thanks for the heads up Tim. Looks like I might just have to have a new plate made.

So Selearis comes out of hiding and takes down #1 in the country. Impressive. Not really surprising but impressive.

You guys don't have to mail the plaques. I will have Denise send out replacement plates. Sorry for the mix up. LH

...if you were in a days driving distance....and didn't make this Nationals....you missed out....great matches all day long!....there were some very good novice and amateur battles....Klemba put on a show in the masters....and for the open.....just crazy in most classes.....the 54s were impressive to watch....Sam Harris...Emmanuel Harris...Shalhoub...Oleg....all long hard fought battles.....the 76s were stacked.....can't say enough about Klemba....the were some very strong pullers...and he smashed them all....Lewis...McKinney...Ruskin...Ballinger...Brown....all looked very tough to beat....the 98s were an RVJ of just being silly....Storm...Selearis...and Statton... put on a fantastic show.....epic battles all around.....It felt good to win the 242s....Nutsch....Max...Corey....Bart....all had good days.....but ...there are some very good pullers in the Northeast in this class that did not make the trip....hope they can make it next year.....it was cool to pull Tim Bresnan in the supers....couldn't budge that mans hand an inch!!!....damn wrist is as thick and strong as a lally column!.....overall...great place to hold Nationals....the Europa festivities definitely add punctuation.....I want to thank Leonard for allowing me on the stage to record video and take pics when I was not pulling....at times...there was more than a few people up there...and I sensed he wanted to throw us all off!....I was however...able to get some good pics and vids.....I have posted some on the Mass State Arm Wrestling FB page.....I will be posting some of the videos there within the next few days....there were some very good matches!!.....I did put together a quick two part highlight film from the meet....using an app on my phone.....I have no control of what videos will actually be used...or how they will be used....either way...I will post them real soon....great job everyone....keep working hard.....stay healthy..........next.....the Stone Pony!!!.....(I want a rematch with Tim B......jk) :-)
