**Update July 29th, 2010
-ILSM: Just giving a heads up...the arm over arm event may be altered somewhat. Won't know for certian till I see the set up at the venue. There is a chance we won't be in the same spot as the last few years, but down a side street. This may warrant us to alter the arm over arm event a little. Once we find out more I will be sure to post it here............Thanks.
- Also, updated records to cover the Powercorp meet.
- As well as posted the results from the Tolono meet. I need to go over the events of the Tolono meet and see if any events were eligible for records.
**Update July 24th, 2010

- Have to check our records however I do believe Jan Walkosz, John Schmidt and Jamie Lewis made a state record in the max log press today. The Log was a sub event when the Viking Press implement had a boo-boo.
**Update July 23rd, 2010

**Update July 9th, 2010
Congrats to our very own Jason Bever.
He's our NAHA Illinois Chairmen.
Looking forward to working with him!!
Jason's statement:
"I am excited and honored to be the first NAHA State Chair for Illinois. This is a situation of where timing and opportunity could not have been better. After taking a year off of strength sports due to family and work obligations, it is wonderful to be able to return in this capacity. I am looking forward to working with everyone to help with the NAHA mission of promoting the combination of strongman and highland games. In the short time NAHA has been around, it is clear that the thoughts and concerns of the athletes, promoters, and fans are always taken into consideration. I am proud and honored to be the in this role and I hope to be a contributing member for many years to come."

**Update July 7th, 2010
Giant think tank time....Here is a question for you...
If you were in charge of ILSA, or any other sporting organization for that matter, how would you go about running it? There are no wrong answers, just your ideas and opinions.
How are we doing? Great or dingle berries?
We'd love to here any ideas that you may have. Contact us at: anna_tony@sbcglobal.net
We may be able to incorporate your ideas, can't promise anything though. However it never hurts to bring heads together and discuss what works, what doesn't and what we can improve on, etc, etc...
Thanks...TS
** Update July 1st, 2010
234 years ago this weekend our Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence. They put their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor on the line for Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Through their sacrifices we have enjoyed our freedoms and prospered like no other nation on earth. The United States of America is exceptional and we must always be vigilant to the threats of our beloved Constitution, foreign and domestic.
The time before us allows for reflection on how our beloved nation came about through the efforts of brave souls willing to sacrifice everything, so that their children and succeeding generations could enjoy the fruits of Freedom. Let us not take our Freedoms for granted but cherish and protect them for it is our duty to pass these on to our children.
"Gentlemen may cry, "Peace, peace!" - but there is no peace. The war is actually begun. The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand here idle? ...Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
-Patrick Henry, March 23rd, 1775
What are you willing to do to preserve our precious freedoms?
