Congratulations to my friends Kurt Weidner and Vaughan Twigger on their class wins at the WNBF Universe in NYC on Sept. 17. The overall between these training partners must have been an incredible feeling. Kurt took home a 1-point victory, but both he and Vaughan looked fantastic (in fact Vaughan defeated 2007 WNBF World Overall champ Jim Cordova in the LW class to get to the overall). I competed against Vaughan back in 2005 as an amateur...boy has he grown since then! The sky is the limit for this guy. Kurt and Vaughan began training together soon after I left Blacksburg in 2006, and are close friends who push each other every day. Great stuff guys!
Also, Kurt now has 2 WNBF Overall titles to his name, a feat accomplished by only a handful of pros. Very impressive! Check out www.teamanimal.net for more contest pics and tons of good info from Kurt.
