Heavyweight Events
This year as in years past, we have an excellent field of athletes in all heavyweight divisions. Many of the athletes here this week-end have achieved "# 1" rankings in numerous competitions around the world and their lists of accomplishments go on and on. Four of these World-class athletes will be competing in the Open Pros. events here on Saturday. To learn a bit more about them, please click onto the Bios. pages below. Welcome all.
Bio of some newcomers to this year's Professional competitors will be posted when available
