SOME AAA NAT'S RESULTS

[Chad Silvers]

I think my thumb is still on the stage somewhere in Columbia!

[Chris Ratchford]

The battles between Silvers and Klemba Left handed were some of the best matches I have ever seen!!!!!!! One second it looked like Chad would win, then it looked like Ron would win. The best matches of the day.!!


Cleave's Wars with John were aweseome too!!

[Chris Coletti]

John,
You are a monster! Very impressive pulling!!!! It was great to watch...Thanks!

[Sol "Arm and Hammer"Ingram]

Chad and Ron's left handed was one for the books... I saw several times chad's hand a few millimeter's from the pad, but he held and held and held!! there was no quit in any of these Men! Awesome match.. I would like to see Ron come to the Superstar Showdown II and pull him right handed! What do you think RON KLEMBA? Sincerely Sol

[Jeremy Plaster]

Allen I'm wondering if that was a compliment or insult?? lol Either way, Thank you haha. How ya been?

[Luke Eldridge]

This was my first nationals, and I had a great time. I met quite a few people for the first time and watched them pull. The tournament was run very well. Gary, I'm looking forward to joining armtv to see some videos. I really want to see the one of Jim Bryan dancing...That was too damn funny. I was impressed with all the novices. Harold owens, It was a pleasure to meet you as well as pull against you. You are so damn strong. Ill be looking forward to seeing you and the other heavys at the unified nationals in august.

[Garrett Stepsis]

Congratulations to all the winners and all who pulled well, especially Cleve Dean, who is still a legend after all these years.

Kevin Schneider, 3rd place? Not too shabby. You just keep getting stronger and stronger.

George Stanton, so surprise there, but at 189 pounds? Did you lose a leg? Chris Myers, good job too.

To my good friend James Battles, you pulled extremely well too, even having had the draw from hell and having pulled multiple classes.

Here are the complete results. If you wish to put them on your site, please don't be a Junior; e-mail the Beans and get their okay first:
