Thanks WestCoast. We really enjoyed having your kids over and look forward to hosting next year's event already. We are extremely happy with the way things ran off and we feel that all the kids had a great time. We feel like we will have an even larger turnout next year. It is actually a really great spectator event and the kids love the emotion and the close quarters between the crowd and the competition.

We had a bench press for max reps. tractor tire flip for time, atlas stone race for time, one man harness pull where you are strapped to a kid from another school (it's kinda like a one man tug of war from a 4 point stance going forward instead of backward), an obstacle course with 5 different activities for your 5 linemen, truck push for time, over hand tire pull where we rigged up a tractor tire to a 1 inch rope and you have to pull it by hand 10 yards, and the last event was the fingle fingers where there is a weighted pole anchored to a base that is flipped back and forth 10 times for time. Go to www.thelinemanchallenge.com to get more info. It really puts 7-on-7 to shame. It's an awesome event for the big kids to get together and compete in skills that favor their talents.
