Holy Schit did this thread get sidetracked.
Who cares where Mike placed or how many competitors were in his class? He set out to compete, he busted his ass and he did it. Everyone should be happy for him. I admit that Cheri is a little out there but who cares, she's standing up for her man.
Congratulations Mike, don't let this thread get you down. You accomplished something very few people accomplish.
