The meet was a great success with 34 great lifters --many competing in the new "Raw" division and lots of state records were set and broken ! Plus I am proud of my new American Record bench ( dual citizen,remember ) in the USAPL Master 5 division !
Thanks to Bull Stewart and Richard Schuller for the special hospitality they afforded our group from BC !!
