Greetings folks, I’m en route home after a great week in Big White, Canada. A place very dear to me, since on both of my previous races here I medalled. This time, not so much. The world’s best were there, I knew from the get go this would be extra hard. We experimented with some prosthetic leg tweaks in training, and I can honestly say I improved a lot after 8 days there. Even though my results don’t show that, but coach &...
Howdy folks! This is my 4th time in Finland and it did not disappoint! We got there early for a training camp which was key for my success in the race.

Matt McLeod, Redlands Daily Facts Redlands Daily Facts Posted: RedlandsDailyFacts.com REDLANDS -- It took months for Delmon Dunston to feel human again. The 33-year-old Riverside native will never forget the moment that first changed his life. The date was July 14, 2000, and Dunston was wrestling at a local gym when he shattered his C6 vertebra. It was an injury that would leave him unable to walk ever again. Cooped up inside his house, stuck inside a wheelchair he'd grown to hate, it wasn't until his...
