It was an honor for me to MC this local high school contest again.
The winning team won $250 for each of the 8 kids on their team (4 boys and 4 girls)

Congratulations to the Juanita High School Rebels for winning their 2nd title in a row! It was a great competition today between these high school kids, and I am honored to be a part of this contest to help the "Austin Foundation" and my friend Willie Austin.

The final overall placings were:
Juanita High School 28 points
Franklin High School 20.5 points
The Austin Foundation 17.5 points
Chief Sealth High School & SW Youth and Family Services 15 points

There are 917 photos that Jim Wallingford & Shannon Gill took of these kids giving their all in 6 grueling events!

Award-winning Seattle-Times photographer Alan Berner also shot some photos that came out in the Sunday newspaper today! We made the front page of the "Local" section.

Alan actually came out on assignment to the contest, and then went to a banquet later that night and WON an award for his distinguished journalism!! How cool was that of him to come by and visit our contest?

Thank you to Daniel Jahn, Leilani Finau, Maximum Sports Conditioning, and all the rest of the staff & volunteers who came out to help yesterday! Its all about the kids in our local communitues, and I'm proud to be a part of it!

Aloha,

Another awesome event. It's great you do so much to give back to community. If you ever need a hand or volunteers let me know. If I'm in town and be more then willing to lend a hand.
