Quint Zambon experienced success as both a competitor and coach at the North American Strongman National Championships Nov. 3 and 4 in Tunica, Miss.

Zambon is the head strength trainer at Davis Speed Center in Crystal Lake and placed sixth in the 175-pound-and-under weight class. Also placing at nationals were Adam Corra, fourth in the 200-pound class, Paige Roeser, eighth in the women’s lightweight, and Trevor Rutokowski had a top-10 finish in the 231 division.

Roeser, a junior at Prairie Ridge, is the youngest competitor to ever qualify for nationals. She was 15 when she qualified and 16 at the competition. Zambon said to place in the top 10 at nationals at such a young age is an unbelievable accomplishment and had other competitors wondering how good Roeser could be.
