i sit back and just read the boards, but i feel i need to post on this matter.
vinnie was on a strong roll from 1989 to 2000:
overall suburban 1989
2nd middle wt, nj state 1989
1st middle wt, nj state 1992
1st middle wt, jr usa 1992
2nd middle wt, jr nationals 1993
1st middle wt, usa 1993
5th middle wt, nationals 1994
5th middle wt, nationals 1995
1st lightheavy wt, jr nationals 1997
4th lightheavy wt, nationals 1997
3rd lightheavy wt, nationals 1999
3rd lightheavy wt, nationals 2000
then went down to 13th place in 2003 at the nationals....being very burned out
then made a nice comeback last year, cracking the top 5 again in the lightheavy's at the nationals again....not his best, but it looked like his old form was starting to show again.
ok now the pdi comes along, and he is turning 39 this year..ok thats not old but ANYONE of you who has done what vinnie has done...at this point in his life would compete in the NOC too.
vinnie best of luck to you
