We would like to give a huge shoutout and congratulations to our very own Ashley Howells as she recently earned 1st place at the Tri-City Classic in Columbus, GA on April 11th.

Ashley is a, and our only, IFBB Professional Figure (bodybuilding) competitor and this victory earned her the qualification to compete at this year’s Olympia in the fall in Las Vegas, NV.

For those who do not know much about the sport of bodybuilding, the Olympia is the world championship event where the best in the world travel to compete. This makes Ashley one of the top 30 figure athletes in the entire world in her division!

Congratulations! Local 327 is proud of you!

We would like to thank the Sandusky Aquatic Center along with the Erie County Health Department for their continued support of Local 327.

They have recently worked directly with our Dive Team to let us utilize the pool for physical readiness and equipment safety checks.

Do not hesitate to stop and say hello when we are there.

Each year our divers must go through a swim test and dive skills test to ensure our preparedness for the upcoming year.
