Featured Athlete
Erik Hendrickson at FFF 2008
Erik Hendrickson
In the past, Erik pointed out a mistake in our 30-39 2005 results. In the end, after recompiling all the results, Erik moved down by a few places for that year and others moved up in his age group.

Our goal is to recognize athletes of different types of strengths. Erik demonstrated the strength in helping many athletes in his age group. After correcting results, Erik fell further from third place (minimum to get an award), and so we decided this year to make use of his strength as a demonstration to other athletes by featuring him on the first release of the Athletes section.
