NZ athletes dominated at the 48th annual Lumberjack World Championships in Hayward, Wisconsin. Jason Wynyard beat fellow New Zealanders David Bolstad and Dion Lane to win his ninth All-Around Lumberjack title. The Aucklander described the 2007 event as “a good competition, with a couple new faces” in the Sawyer County Record, and praised the efforts of Bolstad in particular. Alistair Taylor won the master’s underhand chop event and Sheree Taylor finished third in the All-Around Lumberjill title race.
