The Central Ohio High School Strongman Challenge in Lancaster, OH was held Jan. 30th
This competition was a senior project for a high school student mentored by me. Corey did a great job, gathering 14 sponsors, 22 athletes, around 250 spectators, and a local rock band who played as a filler during the tear down and set up of the events. We netted out around $750.00 in cash to hand over to our local high school football boosters program so they could purchase new bumper plates.
Local press was great, making the front page of the Lancaster Eagle-Gazette - Article http://www.lancastereaglegazette.com/news/stories/20050131/localnews/1936315.html
This was very rewarding for the student Corey Jeffers, the athletes, and also the Senior Project program not to mention the sport here locally. The Central Ohio High School Challenge will become an annual event. Next year we will form a committee of students to participate, helping many seniors with their sr. project. We are also considering plans of getting it on local TV. By the way Jesse, :) awesome web page! Steve
