Midwest OCR was one of the best times Luccketta and the Lionhearts Team have had.

Lionhearts Sam Williams took 2nd place AG! It was his favorite race ever. All Lionhearts kept their bands for ZERO fails for a very technical and challenging race. Thanks to The OCR Report, we will have footage soon.

The very next week, after the Midwest OCR, the Williams boys and Luccketta went to the World Championships in California.  The Lionhearts youth went to the Spartan Nashville.

OCRWC

What an amazing week. Thanks to Lionheart Trey Williams, the Lionhearts Team was moving and grooving. The course was amazing. The community was spectacular and the Lionhearts competitiors topnotch. Samual Williams, just one week off of the Midwest OCR took 1st place AG in the World Champrionships! The following day he took 2nd place in the 15K! 
Luccketta took 4th place, missing 3rd by 2 minutes. He loved his race and had zero fails. His Pro-relay team was amazing, with the great Noel Medina and Chris Mills. Chris became injured and we had to replace him with Joey Criscitello (an amazing world champion and NOW A LIONHEART!!)

The Lionhearts Team did fantastic and came in 5th Place.

All Lionhearts kept their bands all weekend long.

We are the first to ever have an ALL TEEN team (Pro-Relay) at the world championships (adult pro race.) Our 3rd in the Team Relay sadly, got altitude poisoning and wasn’t able to participate in any of the races. Sam’s brother Ezekial filled the slot and shocked us all with keeping his band and keeping it all weekend long! An amazing accomplishment.

The stories will take up a full page. It was an amazing week. One of my favorite stories is the amazing Trey Williams. An amazing father, husband to Sara, Community Builder and organizer. He stepped out and participated in the Charity Race with the young men. He DID IT!! One of the hardest courses of the season and it was his very first race ever. What a hero!

SPARTAN NASHVILLE

Lionhearts has been in a whirlwind of everything going on coming home from OCR World Championships , A little bit of jet lag straight into classes and then finding a new property. But I’d like to celebrate our friend Bodhi. 
Bodhi is a champion. I was very sorry to miss his visit with the Lionhearts Fitness. His family traveled all the way from Texas to Nashville for the Spartan kids race to race with the Lionhearts. Bodie is a very strong young man and a few months ago he became a
Lionheart all the way in Texas as he was championing his biggest obstacle of all, leukemia.
We were honored to welcome Bodhi into the Lionheart family. He is everything we believe we can all be. If we lift one another up and we help each other through these obstacles in life, we can be champions everyday.
His father wasn’t certain that he can make it through the whole Spartan Kids race, but the young man said “I can do it I can do it.” Our team watched him carefully and helped him through every obstacle and he championed it just like he did leukemia and all the treatments he’s had to go through.
May we all be a lot more like Bodhi.
I’m so very proud of the Lionhearts family. They knew our mission, they were our mission, and they shared our mission. Many of the volunteers that are a big part of the core of what we do were out of state doing other things.
What more could anyone ask for? Community serving the community to better our community to better our world.
That’s pretty ding dang cool.
And yes our Lionhearts were also taking the podiums. There is so much more to who we are than the podium .
