Phil has been on this podium before, but john has been amassing 19 Blue Stars (District) and 7 Silver Stars (Continental) while waiting his turn to win the Gold. <strong>You just won the Star Worlds tell me about today’s race</strong><em>:</em> “<em>Today’s race was difficult, it was emotional, it was up and down emotion-wise because of different things. Rohart rounds the first mark well ahead, and we’re back. We’re losing. We go around the second mark. Rohart and us go right and we get in a big hole. Now Rohart’s back and we’re back. No we’re wining, and we just had to let mother nature take care of it for us. And fortunately some of our good friends were able to stay ahead of Rohart and it was all good. It was a rollercoaster of emotions, but I was very thrilled with the whole thing. It’s really a satisfying accomplishment, a lifetime accomplishment.”</em></span></span></span> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: blue;"><strong><em></em></strong></span></span></span></div><a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><em><br /> Did you ever think it was possible to win the Star Worlds?</em></strong> <em>I always believed this was possible.

It was a lot of great ideas, great thoughts, it was really good.”</em></span></span></span> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /> John is 52 years old and hails from Cherry Hill New Jersey.
