Results from the 2010 Costa Mesa Scottish Highland Games


Eric Petersen begins his wind-up

It took a little while to get these, but thanks to Athletic Director and Chief of the SAAA, Dave Garman for not only posting the stats, but putting on yet another great event.

EastWestStrength fielded a team of 8 athletes in the “B” Category and Novice Division. With the exception of Highland Games veterans, Scott Brengel and Pete Danahy, all were first-timers and they each performed exceptionally well. Most of the guys in our our group are either strongman competitors or speed/strength athletes trained by Scott Brengel, himself a pro strongman. Exceptional training brings exceptional results!

In the “B” division, we captured 2nd, 3rd and 4th place. In the Novice bracket, Casey Garrison took 1st and won the coveted Scottish Battle Axe. My training partner, Derek Satterfield made me proud with his 15th place finish out of a crowded field of 28 competitors. A great time was had by all.

Now, for the official stats…

Our guys are highlighted in red. A special hat tip to my friend, Steve Belanger, in blue, who finished with a second place finish in the Masters.
