It was a great day all around,
the athletes did awesome, the bands played great music the
kids had fun, we raised a nice chunk of change for big brothers
big sisters despite a hard economy and unseasonable heat that
the athletes and crowd put up with.
First, I would like to thanks
the athlete for helping make this event happen by stepping
up and competing.
Next the fine sponsors without which
such events could not take place. USP labs for consistently backing
my events year after year. I can't say enough about them and the
support they give the strength sports community. Without all of
you, this could not have happened. Thank you for your support of
NAHA, the APF, strength sports in general, and Big Brothers Big
Sisters of Central Az.
I hope to see all of you and many
more next year for an even better event!
Thank you,
Phil Stevens
