Members of Arms for Christ show off the hardware they won at an arm wrestling tournament on the weekend of June 24th held in Lawrenceburg, KY. Ryan Barnett, the captain of the group, won the 177-198 pound weight class, both right handed and left handed going undefeated, while also winning the 242 pound weight class left handed. Nathan Boyd went undefeated and brought home a first place trophy winning the 243 and above weight class, left handed, while Chad Ray finished second in the 243 and above weight class, right handed. Alex Decker finished fourth in the 154 pound weight class pro division, while coming in with a second place finish in the novice class. Amanda Barnett meanwhile won the women’s right handed open division, going undefeated. Ryan Barnett says that while the group loves competiting and winning arm wrestling events, the group’s main goal is witnessing and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. Pictured in front row left to right are Chad Ray and Alex Decker. Back row left to right are Ryan Barnett, Amanda Barnett, and Nathan Boyd.

Just To make a little correction on this one Ryan Barnette did not go undefeated....I remember beating him twice that day and if I'm not mistaken someone else beat him to.....
But Nice to see arm wrestling making it into the papers!!!!! Lets Hear it for them!!
