Reporting from the Olympic Strongman Challenge yesterday, ASC’s Dione Wessels  told IronMind, “The top three going into day two are Mike Burke 42.5, Tom McClure 37.5, Marshall White 37.5.”

“Highlights from Friday:

• Mike Caruso gets 410 easy on the Last Man Standing Log
• Andrew Palmer ran with the 350-pound farmer tanks and the 800-pound frame on the Farmer-Frame Medley.
• The Conan's wheel was also won by Mike Burke.
• On the 390 pound stone over the bar McClure gets close to seven but the stone spins off of the top of the bar. So, again Mike Burke takes the win with 7 reps.

"Today, there are 4 more events: the progressive Yoke Walk, Overhead Press Medley, and the Suicide Carry, Drag, and Load Medley,” said Wessels.
