Rochester's Strongest Man

The first Rochester's Strongest Man Contest proved to be a Clash of Titans where the winner was determined by 1 second on the last event.  On the hot 85-degree day, Carl Foemmel, a 295-pound ball of muscle from Marshfield, WI, dominated the 1st three events.  Carl carried a 235-pound sandbag, 250-pound sandbag Farmer's handles in each hand, and dragged a 560-pound sandbag anchor chain all 50-foot in 27.9 seconds to win the carry and drag medley. 

The 2nd event was the last man standing deadlift.  Alex DeMarco of Faribault, MN and Jeff Peterson of St. Paul, MN both finished with lifts of 820 lbs. but it was Carl Foemmel finishing 1st again with a lift of 870 lbs. 

The 3rd event was the overhead press medley.  Foemmel made quick work of 5 odd objects finishing 1st again. 

The 4th event called for the athletes to flip an 800lb. tire 7 times as fast as possible.  Jeff Peterson, a 220lb competitor with over 50 competitions under his belt, edged Carl in this event. 

In the 5th event, Jeff Peterson pulled a 16,000lb. truck arm over arm style 50 feet in 41.5 seconds capturing 1st in the event.  Foemmel finished a disappointing 4th in the event propelling Peterson into 1st place overall by a half point with one event to go. 

The last event was one of the strongman signature events:  the stones. Peterson and Foemmel were only a half point apart.  Foemmel lifted the 5 stones weighing 235lb., 265lb., 285lb., 310lb., and 340lb. to the 50" platform in a blistering 25.7 seconds.  Peterson followed with an inspired 24.4 second run to capture the title of Rochester's Strongest Man.
