Greetings fellow disc doggers!! Well the 2009 AWI World Championships are in the books and another proud handler will go on the Lander Cup along with an awesome dog. Big Air Bella and Todd Murnan took the field Sunday morning in beautiful Naperville, made their statement early, and never looked back.

Challenged by one of the biggest and deepest fields ever assembled, Bella and Todd managed to hold off over 80 teams all vying for the crown, and they became the 2009 AWI World Champions!!

Beautiful weather, a beautiful field and more teams than have ever assembled together for this event led to an incredible weekend. Discs, friends, dogs, fun, what more could we ask for?

A more complete write up to follow shortly, but we wanted to thank everyone who took part in this weekend. From the Wehrli family to Angelo Bonadeo (our youngest competitor) every single person and dog there were so important and so helpful in making this the biggest and best event yet.

From the entire Hero Staff, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!
