A big congrats goes out to @__abbysharp__, who had a rather big day yesterday. Abby took 1st in the 148 lb class at the 2018 Nebraska All-Class State Raw Powerlifting Championships. She had the second highest total of all females in the meet (i.e., across all weight classes) and also won the Best Female Heavyweight Lifter award (i.e., best female lifter of the 148 lb, 165 lb, 198 lb, and Unlimited weight classes). • Abby set PRs in all three lifts and went 9-for-9, squatting 255/265/275, benching 135/140/145, and pulling 245/265/280 (lbs). • We also find it mildly amusing that the 148 lb class is part of the heavyweight grouping.
