High School Nationals (April 4-5, Kalamazoo, MI)- Reviews from Joe Lewis, Lance Slaughter and Jack Marcus;
Lewis:
Congratulations to Tod Miller, Bryan See and the entire Plainwell Crew for an amazing High School National Meet. The Meet was run very efficiently and all troublesome issues were dealt with quickly and effectively! As usual, Kathy and Joe Marksteiner did a great job with their computer meet management system. It was great to see so many old friends and put some new faces to names I have been aware of. The quality of the lifting was amazing!!!! We will be able to put together a top quality mens and womens sub-junior team with these fine young champions. Congratulations to Erich Mach's Necedah team for their second consecutive Girl's National title and to Shaun Cosgrove and the Glen Mills crew for adding another boys title to their long and distinguished title run. If we can continue to nurture these fine young athletes into the open ranks, then the future of our sport is in good hands!!!
Slaughter:
I wholeheartedly agree with Joe's comments above. Tod Miller and everyone involved with High School Nationals did an outstanding job. The hotel and venue was first rate and the volunteers did a incredible job of executing a national championship comprised of over 300 lifters on three continuosly running competion platforms. Most impressive of course were the 349 lifters who competed over three days. It is truly inspiring to see these outstanding young athletes perform on the platform. A huge thanks also goes to the coaches and parents who truly embrace powerlifting as a great sport for kids to participate in. The noise and energy of the crowd support is incredible.
It has been said many times before by others and I will repeat it again.
If you have any opportunity to attend a USAPL High School Nationals- GO!
If you are a high school athlete who has thought about competing in this meet- DO IT!
If you know a HS athlete who could compete at this meet- HELP GET THEM THERE!
If you have the capacity to referee or help out at the competition of this size- PLEASE DO SO!
I have been involved in powerlifting for over 15 years in many capacities- lifter, referee, meet director, state chair, EC, competed at numerous national championships and several IPF world BP championships and without question this past weekend was one of the most inspiring experiences I have had in the sport.
Again, congratulations and thank you to all involved!
Marcus:
As Technical Secretary for High School Nationals this year I would like to thank
in particular all the referees that answered the call to help officiate at this championship.
Having 3 platforms and about 350 lifters ,things were going on non stop all day long.
We did not have the luxury of extra referees on stand-by since some officials were already committed
to Collegiate Nationals next week in Denver
Again, thanks to everyone for all the work you did as officials
