NEWRY, Maine -- A Maine couple has taken the crown in the North American Wife Carrying Championship over an obstacle course that featured a muddy water hole and two log obstacles.
Dave and Lacey Castro, of Lewiston, beat 40 other teams Saturday, covering the 278-yard course in 54.45 seconds.
The couple won 97-pound Lacey Castro's weight in beer and five times her weight in cash -- $485. They are eligible to compete in the world championships in Finland.
