Contest promoter Chad Coy told IronMind®, "Eric Hammer and Dan Harrison battled through the heat and a heavy show to come down to who wanted it the most on the stones . . . both finished all five, but Eric was a touch faster and beat Dan by a one-half point."
"Matt Metheney was on fire and crushed all comers in the pro class with two event wins and a handful of second places . . . taking home $1,400 in cash and the $2,000 diamond ring!"
"We raised an additional $500 for the kids," Coy said, who had earlier explained that this meet was a fundraiser for the Heartland Ministries' Kids' Program.
