Comments from MARS:
Dana has been our top competitor in the his age group since joining the series in 2008. He has demonstrated great fitness both in running and in strength, and to some extent this comes as no surprise since he has a history of a wrestler. Additionally, he was the overall top male winner in the press and run combo.
