Things kicked off last night with the Green's Beverage Trolley Pull, which was won by Jesse Marunde. In what Wessels called "the gruesome medley," which included a 900-pound yoke and 550-pound chain drag, Jon Andersen emerged with top honors.

Coming into today's final four events, Jon Andersen and Geoff Dolan are tied for first, followed by Jesse Marunde, Travis Ortmayer and Jason Lawson - the only amateur to complete both of yesterday's events.
