For the past several months I have been traveling a lot for the DC Brawlers and GRID. Just this past Sunday, the DC Brawlers went on to defend their championship title against the Phoenix Rise.  The match was a close one that started off with the Brawlers in a pretty big deficit.  Going into the Snatch Ladder, race 7, we were all tied up.  In the picture below, Christian Harris hits a 270# snatch with only 5 seconds left in the race.  Hitting this lift secured a 3-point win for DC and drastically shifted the momentum in the match.  Btw, Harris hit 14 snatches before this lift starting with 60# and going up by 15# all in a little over a minute.  I could not be more proud to be the GM of such an amazing group of people.  Looking forward to the 2016 season!
