Meet Report

We had a great meet as a team, I couldn't be more proud of the guys that went up. They all stepped up and showed the hard work that they have been putting in for the past months. So here are there results.

James Proctor 155 JV 1st
Squat- 275x, 290, 325
Bench- 185x, 185x, 185
Dead- 315, 335, 365
Total- 875
I will say that James was sick that whole morning but still turned out a great performance. With a PR in squat and dead, i was happy, and to see the way he came back from 2 misses in the bench and smash his 3rd was great.

Matt Rapelja 207 JV 1st
Squat- 290, 300, 325
Bench- 185, 195, 200
Dead- 315, 345, 375
Total- 900
Matt went 9 for 9, and hit PR's in every lift, if that is not peaking I don't know what is. In addition he was 25 lbs from a state record in the squat, 10 in the dead, and 40 from the total. He will smash all of those next year.

Nate Greenwell 207 Var 4th
Squat- 365x, 400, 415
Bench- 225, 245, 255x
Dead- 404, 425, 465
Total- 1125
We might have been to conservative with Nate's openers, because he could have gone much higher in squat and dead. He is only 15lbs from the state record in the squat, and he broke it in the dead but was broken again by another lifter, and it was the same with the total. Also he was in a 3 way tie for 2nd and lost due to body weight.

Andy Manthei 212 Var 1st
Squat- 385x, 405x, 425
Bench- 275x, 275, 305
Dead- 500, 525, 575x
Total- 1255
Andy learned trust today. I knew his squats were good, but he was getting called on depth, he didn't want to move up but I made him, because I knew what he could do. I was very proud when he smashed 425 which was a PR, and he could have done more. He is 5 lbs for a state record in bench and broke the record in dead.

Jordan Washburn 275 Var 4th
Squat- 275, 300, 325
Bench- 250, 265, 275x
Dead- 325, 375, 415
Total- 1005
Jordan is another one that I know could have done more weight in the squat and dead, and more than likely in the bench. He missed 275 due to beating the press command, but he still had a great day with a PR in the squat.


I was so proud, none of my guys missed the weight because they couldn't do it, it was either bad calls or not waiting for the commands, which we should have practiced more(my fault). Anyway they got a taste for power lifting and loved it, I think we will hold a meet here in Petoskey in April and I can't wait for that.
