Weightlifting Meet Results: OBJECTIVES ACCOMPLISHED

A great day of lifting in Cincinnati today. Many thanks to the lifters who came from all over and to the volunteers who made the meet happen.
Volunteers were: Chad, Josh, and Manu as referees; Jon, Brandon, and Garrett as loaders; Fred and Stephanie as scorers and timers.

Three lifters came to the meet to qualify for national meets. All three did so (Steven from Team Hercules 47/56/109, Jake from Cincinnati 110/148/258, and Jami from Columbus 53/66/119). A number of lifters were lifting in their first meet and were looking to total:
Steve from Cincinnati
Eric S. from Columbus
Eric C. from Cincinnati
Bryce from Indiana and only 10 years old
Kayla from Indiana and only 13 years old
Amber all the way from Memphis

In my opinion, the best lifting performances were put in by Brigid from Lexington and Chris Y from Team Hercules. Wow. Talk about effort and coming up with the big lift when needed. Great stuff.

Nicole from Columbus hit 70/83/153
John, from Columbus and making a comeback, hit 70/90/160
Michael from Memphis Team Faction hit 98/128/226
Ralph P. 62/90/152 outdueled his son Ralph A. 57/85/142
John L. hit 105/140/245
Chris Y, from East Coast Gold and tuning up for nationals, hit 113/140/253
Frank from Cincinnati and showing age is not slowing him down hit a PR snatch and 58/75/133
Keith from Cincinnati hit 68/82/150

Fantastic job by all.
