Who’s the fittest of them all at the ranch?<br />
That would be the 446th Airlift Wing Rodeo<br />
team that ran their way to the top score in the<br />
Fit-to-Fight competition Sunday here at Air Mobility<br />
Command’s Rodeo 2009.<br />
Five Airmen from the Reserve unit at Mc-<br />
Chord ran swiftly, bulled their way through<br />
push-ups, and crunched those abs to score a<br />
perfect 550 points.<br />
The 446 AW Rodeo Fit-to-Fight team consisted<br />
of Staff Sgt. Ben Thomsen and Senior<br />
Airman Tyler Akers both from the Rodeo Aerial<br />
Port team, Maj. Dan Bishop from the Rodeo<br />
Aircrew team, Senior Master Sgt. Mark Cherrix<br />
from the Rodeo Maintenance team, and Staff<br />
Sgt. Jack Montez with the Rodeo Security Forces<br />
team.<br />
The Fit-to-Fight competition measured physical<br />
aptitude through push ups, sit-ups, and a<br />
mile and a half run.<br />
“Everyone made it under their target time,”<br />
said Senior Master Sgt. Wendy Hutchins, Rodeo<br />
Aerial Port Team. “They all worked hard and<br />
trained hard for the Fit-to-Fight competition.”<br />
