Week 2019.09.16

/

The 2019 Omaha USSF Fall Classic is in the books, and it was a great day (and even better since it was on our home turf!)! Lots of PRs were set, and many congratulations go out to everyone who stepped onto the platform to compete this past Saturday. 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. Also, 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. Finally, thank you to Chas for hosting all of us at his place afterward for food, fellowship, and a Husker win!
