Anybody know why he didn't make the Crash Bs this year? I don't think he posts here, just curious, was surprised not to see his time on there.

He lives in Britain. Does he usually travel to Boston?

The Crash-B site seems to have lost the link to 2013 results when they updated to 2014 results. 2012 and earlier can still be accessed.

I seem to have posted this and never checked back. I thought Benko was from Iowa, does he really live in England or are we talking about two different people? I was always impressed by his performance as my understanding was he just came to this from a fitness perspective and has put up some incredible times as reflected on the C2 world record site. I can't help but wonder if he was injured or something.
