Taylor Johnson is in. In order to justify a -140lb. women's class I am wondering who may show up? I say the -140lb. class as SEC rankings are based on a -140lb. & a +140lb. women's class. Maybe Bryce and Holly?
Karen: Since this is the SEC event combined with Get a Grip, is this limited to SEC pullers for ranking purposes?

Karen: Since this is the SEC event combined with Get a Grip, is this limited to SEC pullers for ranking purposes?[/quote] Surely you jest . The more the merrier! I have been off a while , but my take is you cannot get to the top of the mountain unless you bring everyone out. Anyway I am not gonna get back into shape with just these SEC boys showing up "WDE". I have been passing by the board for a few years now and I have seen all these new wrestlers. I left for a little bit because of so many things more important and needing to deal with them. That time is finally passing. We will see everyone there

OK sorry if I was wrong but I thought that this once a year SEC event was limited to SEC pullers so they could specifically determine rankings in the SEC. Todd King would be a good one to answer this question.

There is no telling . I talked to someone who said there was some consideration on how that could be made to happen so Karen will probably be along some time soon to give her input on it. I wouldnt rule out a possibility for both. Like I was saying I have been offline for a long time and one thing I do know is Frank and Karen still provide the best consideration to the armwrestlers of anyone I know. Don't get discouraged because I am really not the authority. Thanks for reading. sincerely,

I hope there can be a 140lb. and under ladies class. Not just because its part SEC but it would probably be pointless for Bryce to pull experienced arm wrestlers that out weighed her by 50lbs or more. Not to sell her short but just keeping it real.

I agree Keith. Same for Taylor.

Guys, we'll definitely have 2 classes for the ladies so no worries about your girls having to pull with others weighing a lot more.
