Army Times profile of Burritos for Life finalist

The Army Times has a profile of Burritos for Life finalist Sargeant Aaron Cooper, a combatives instructor at Fort Benning. Cooper was leading for the first two thirds of the contest, but fell behind late and suffered a reversal near the end of the contest. Cooper ate almost five burritos before his disqualification; the winner (whose name is not given in the article or anywhere else on the internet I have been able to find) ate more than six burritos in eight minutes.

    That’s pretty sad. I finished four in well under four minutes in my regional, so I figured the finalists would get close to eight. It’s strange that the last article about this guy said he’d taken down seven burritos in eight minutes, but at the event he couldn’t do five. I think the burritos were really varied in size from one contest to another.
