MMA Stuff - Below are brief explanations of why the MMA Selectors made the picks they did. The controversial Rookie of the Year category, plus Junior of the Year and Grand Masters were dealt with in an earlier post. LINK
As with the earlier post, we are parenthetically including tri-blogger / future MMA Committeman Steve Stenzel's picks.
FEMALE MASTER OF THE YEAR - Jan Guenther (Steve's Pick- Julia Weisbecker)
A mid-season injury dropped Sarah Mercer from "Award Worthy" status to "Nomination Worthy." Had she been able to pop that big performance at Ironman Wisconsin, as was her goal, she may have picked up her second career MMA last Saturday...
