 ...came in looking great, just blessed with that muscle mass that made her so successful in the past, kept her out of the top 10 this year.  However, for all of you who were dreading the retirement after this year...TANK has just been added to the ELITE STAFF OF PROFESSIONALS IN OUR FITNESS/ PHYSIQUE AND FEMALE BODYBUILDING DIVISION....tank, we love you!

Sean Mooney...after 120 km running on railway tracks from Montreal to Ottawa (and the rest on the road) has proven that you can take the athlete out of ELITE, but cannot take ELITE out of the athlete, great job pal...

Kurt Gibson...is presently in 15th position in PRIMAL QUEST...yes, still going on...a round-the-clock ECO-CHALLENGE-ESQUE race over 964 km through the badlands of South Dakota, with teams from all over the world..."super-kurt" is going where most men fear to tread...we are all routing for you...

Little "Leigh" Mollison...who looked like an anatomy chart this morning is making the trek to Nationals in BC this weekend to show the Nation why she is Miss Manitoba...accompanied by her lovely side-kick Coco Kissack the provincial Master's Winner in Fitness, I am sure they will do themselves and ELITE proud...

...with the summer coming to a close and over 40 of our athletes leaving to pursue their sports... we are extremely proud to have been recruited to help you along your journey to greatness...
