It does not get any better than that! Cincinnati Weightlifting Club had a great day with all three of the events above happening. Plus each lifter posted a PR with no bomb outs. WOO HOO!
At the Central KY Open Meet in Lexington, hosted by Central KY Weightlifting, 7 lifters were competing. Abby and Jessica in their first official meet.
Fern leads off the action and goes 3 for 3 in snatch, hitting a PR of 38. She has 2 solid CJ then just misses the final CJ, which would have been a PR. 38/46/84, ties her PR total. Nice!
Abby, 58 kg, in her first meet, hits her opener and she is on her way. Her second attempt was incomplete and she rebounds to hit it solidly for #3. Her CJ went the same: solid opener, a bit hesitant on the second, and then an excellent comeback to make the lift. She finished the day with solid lifts of 45/56/101.
Jessica, 58 kg, also her first meet, hits her opener and she is on her way. Second snatch attempt was somewhat pesky for her, but she comes back to nail it. CJ were solid, 3 for 3. She hits her final CJ to qualify her for junior nationals. 45/64/109 earns her a spot in San Fran in 2013.
Zach warms up nicely and gets an easy 70 opener. 73 pops up, but 75 is not good. He nails his opening CJ of 95 then needs to move up a few kilos to get more points in the Belt Competition. Neither 100 nor 102 are made. He is credited with a 73 for a PR/95/168.
Keith, weighing 56 kg, is chasing the state records. He opens with a power snatch of 72. Next is the first go at 77. Bang! Made. 81 was not tight in the bottom so, the 77 new state record stands. He opens with a 92 in CJ, then gives two tries to 97 for the total record. Only 92 was a success. 77/92/169 for a state record and meet PR as 56.
Ron, nudged his way into the 77 class, opens with 2 misses in snatch. Finally, he gets the 82 on the competition platform. 80 in warm up: easy. 82: 3 tries! The CJ was better. 102 opener: nailed. 107 for the second attempt was good. He made a good run at 110 but could not get his hips down low enough to rack the bar. 82/107/189: total PR.
Ben, looking to get on track in the new-for-him 94 kg class, opens with an easy 87. 92 was his undoing and he only was able to hit his opener. CJ is good: solid opener of 120. Two sides of beef go on each side of the bar and he cleans it without struggle. Then, he nails the jerk for a PR of 125. 87/125/212, ties his PR total.
Meanwhile, up north in Sandusky, Jake was taking advantage of good training and hit 110/114 in snatch. a PR of 119 just a bit to the front. He nails a routine opener of 145 then cleans, but forgets how to jerk, 151 not once, but twice. Ah, well, entertainment for the crowd. He is credited with 114/145/259 good enough to be keep his 85 kilo state championship for another year!
A great day for the lifters! Congratulations to each lifter.
