Our only freshman girl this year got the nickname Grasshopper. I don't exactly remember why, but I think it had something to do with one of our juniors trying to teach her something.

That same junior got the name Charzard (no idea how), the other junior got the name Velosoraptor (I am sure I messed up the spelling hahaha), and I have the name Taco. no idea why. haha

My nickname was very random...since the three other girls had nicknames (the above names) the two juniors were trying to come up with a name for me. and Charzard came up with Taco. haha

Another freshman really messed up his shoulder during wrestling about half way through Build...so, he got the names Gimp and One-Arm. Earlier that year he got the name Chains because he was really good at working with chains. plus it worked cuz his actual name is Gain.

Since my freshman year, one of the other seniors (Mathew) has had the nickname Baby Thew, but only with certain people on our team. He was playing with the Coke trays and was stacking them up. So the 8th grader at the time called him Baby Thew.

One of our mentors is very particular about the pit. like, everything has its spot and he makes sure the pit is clean all the time, especially at night. another mentor made the comment "He's like my grandmom was in the kitchen! everything had its place!" thus, MomMom Fordham was named. Tho I think I'm the only one that calls him that still...hahaha

One of our mentors has the nickname Speeder....you get one guess why ahhaa

Our team leader (mentor) has the nickname Empress...Whenever she walks in the door after traveling, you hear "Empress on Deck!" from every mentor hahaha

I'm sure that as soon as I post this, I'll come up with more haha
