Pretty good meet for a small meet. That was due to two things:
1. Lots of good help
2. Enough lifters near each other so not much waiting around for lifters following themselves. This was especially nice for the 105-105+ guys.
13 total lifters. 3 different clubs: Spoon Barbell, Team Houston, and Bone Unit.
Thanks again to Tom Witherspoon (announcer), Larry Childress, (head judge), Wes Cooper (side judge #1) and Johnny Wells (side judge #2). Tom and Larry drove up from Dallas and Wes from Oklahoma City. Mr. Wells was the local talent.
Loaders Mike, Zach and Chris kept things running smoothly on the platform, with just some minor instructions needed for lighter weights on the unfamiliar chick bar.
Rip and Josh Wells coached the whole session, with Justin able to add in help at times between his own prep.
It was the first meet for Michael Robbins and Juli Peterson. Good to have you guys get started on the platform.
Expect more pictures to show up on 70sbig.com and facebook and who knows where else. I only picked up a few myself:
Sammar settling in before a jerk…
Justin recovering….and on his way qualifying for Nationals with a 287 total.
Quincy!
PLEASE NOTE: Spoon Barbell plans to hold the next meet in North Texas on May 8th. Get ready.
