WLOCE’s newest Rookie, Kristy Spurlock, found her way into competitive eating by way of a lark. After reading about the Apple Ugly contest in Faith, NC, she thought it would be great fun to enter the competition. With the support of her mother and grandfather, she finished 10 Apple Uglies taking home the 3rd place prize money and a stash of Apply Uglies for her grandfather. She even admits that the money was only a bonus, because she just went to have fun. With the anticipation of more fun and new adventures, Kristy has signed with WLOCE to tour competitions in the Southeast and maybe farther, if it presents her a new challenge.
