THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP @ MASTERS NATIONALS !!

Louisiana hosted the largest Mens Masters Nationals in USAPL history and pulled it off!! A total team effort.....thanks to Arval and the LSU crew!! Jon and the Nichols crew!! The crew from Bayou Fitness- Kory, Adrian, Mike, Marlon, Robert, etc. And a very special thanks to some of the key ladies: My wife Joel, Kory's wife Krystal, and Christy Newman! Thanks to all of our Judges!! I know that sometimes I place a lot of items on my plate and I do so because I love the challenge of doing theses things (lifting, coaching powerlfiting, meet directing, coaching me soccer teams, and tee ball team). There is no doubt that this meet was one of our greatest challenges to date. I am very thankful and proud of our whole work crew. I am very excited about hosting other national meets. But will plan to do no more than 1 per year (after this year). We will host the Teenage/Junior Nationals on May 31, June 1, 2003 at the Radisson Hotel.

It was great to see all the legends come back and to see our local lifters do so well (Deep South Team won the M1 Team Trophy and the Composite team award as well). Then to turn around an be able to lift in the meet...........I couldn't ask for anymore!!!)

Thanks to ALL for memories that will last a life time!!

PS Billy-- (I pulled off 2 soccer games on Saturday when I sncuk out of the venue. We won in the State quarter finals at 7:00am; then lost in the Semi finals at 3:00pm.)

PS PS 9:15pm tonite was the request for Wing Night at Hooters for meet help!
