TougHer Gym welcomed a multitude of individuals looking for a challenge and wishing to help a great cause on Friday evening as the 3rd annual Sweat for Vets event was hosted. This event, created by gym owner Alida Farlaino, is hosted each year as a way to get competitors’ blood pumping and honor those that have served in the military.

Overall men’s went to Ethan Sanchez while men’s open saw Luke Haney in first place. For women’s open, Aubrie Carpenter secured first place while second and third place were both ties between Chantelle Chastain and Jannicke Nelson and Lizz Davis and Jamie Wood, respectively.
