Some sports make it in the main stream.Basketball and baseball are huge across the globe. Football is huge in America, and futbol (soccer) is a phenomenon just about everywhere else.Tennis and golf has a large following, and hockey has carved out its place in sports enthusiasts’ hearts.Then there is a the Highland Games.For those lightly aware of this competition, the name evokes images of large men in kilts flinging massive, wooden poles around.For those who compete, just like Great Bend’s David Tudor, it is just as thrilling as any other sport.For Tudor, the whole thing started when he was looking for something to compete in during the power lifting offseason.“I do power lifting, and you can only compete in two competitions in a year or else you can get hurt,” Tudor said, “so I was looking for something I could compete in during the offseason.”Tudor has competed in two Highland Games this year, once in Lucas, where he finished first in the ‘C’ class.Last weekend, he competed in Topeka, placing fourth out of 13 competitors.Tudor discovered the Highland Games in McPherson.“McPherson has had a Scottish festival for years, and I’ve always wanted to go,” Tudor said. “They have the games there, but I never got to do it.”
