While New Orleans prepares for this year’s Super Bowl, another World Championship took place in Las Vegas at the Spec Mix Bricklayer 500, known as the “Super Bowl of Masonry.” In this video from Building Wisconsin TV, we check out the “Road to Las Vegas” as we visit the 2024 Spec Mix Bricklayer 500 Regional Competition in Fond du Lac WI. We start with Jim Vick, State Director of the Bricklayers & Allied Craftworkers of Wisconsin (BACWI) and Mike Rolf from Spec Mix provides an overview the competition. Then 2 time defending World Champion Michael Schlund tells what it’s like to compete, win a regional and move on to win the “Super Bowl of Masonry” 2 times in a row! We finish at a cement masonry project at DC Everest High School near Wausau WI with Steve Lewis from Lewis Construction to see how a concrete pour is done with his crew of cement masons from BACWI.
Congratulations to 2025 Spec Mix Bricklayer 500 World Champion Cole Stamper!
