Mad Props To A.D. For wasting no time and getting out here to battle! And he will battle!
Of course placings are out of our hands and can be very missleading, especially at a show like this. Many times the difference between first and fifth is hardly noticable or very controversial.
All he can do is show up full, hard, and dry. And Im sure he will. From what I know of him, he loves to compete and doesnt give up. Look at his contest resume.
I feel bad i never had a chance to personally congratulate him for an awesome showing at the nationals. He represented California because he was the only competitor that brought home gold. Great job bro, you looked great and nailed it! and got rewarded. That is what is supposed to happen.
