Also, thank you to those of you who helped out at the meet – setup, teardown, judging, spotting, loading, scoring, announcing – without you, this meet wouldn’t be possible. Finally, thank you to those who came out to support and cheer on the lifters – you all made it a fun day for the lifters on the platform. Join us in the spring for the 2019 Omaha Strengthlifting Challenge!
