The second annual APA Raw Nationals was a huge success. 71 individual lifters from 7 states competed. Breaking 51 WPA World records through out the day. Some broke multiple records in the open and age divisions. The youngest lifter was 14-year-old Christie Stricker from Mississippi. The most Senior was 71-year-old Sheldon Schultz from Florida. Well as advertised, the flights were posted early on Saturday morning. No walk INS was allowed, and the meet started a few minutes after 9:00 am. All lifting was finished, all scores tallied, awards presented and lifters were leaving the venue at 6:00 pm. There was plenty of Power Aid, Coke, and Pizzas delivered at 11:30 for the lifters. I don’t think anyone went hungry through out the day! On to the lifting. The following WPA World Records were set. Marsha Long (AL) in the 132 – 50-54 class. Squat 259, bench 176, and total 710. Carol Ann Myers-Fl in the squat 374, bench 220, and total 974, while competing in the open, and (40-44) 148 lb. class. She already owned the Deadlift record in both classes. Carol Ann also won female Best Lifter in the women’s Full Power. Christie Sticker-Ms set the world record squat in the 105 teen (13-15) with a 154 lb. Effort. Kayla Stricter-Ms set all the records in the 114 teen (13-15) with lifts of, squat 165, bench 115, Deadlift 203, and a total of 484. Courtney Schroeder-Fl broke the 132 Jr (20-23) Deadlift world record with a 253 lb. Pull. Natalie Kuchman-Ms lifting in the 181 teen (18-19) set squat 203, Deadlift 264, and total 572 world. Jenny Dingler-Ga, of North Georgia Barbell set the SHW world record squat with a lift of 347 lbs. Jojo Brasseaux (TN) was the women’s bench only Best Lifter. Christina Hart (FL) set the 132 master (40-44) and open record in the Deadlift only, in route to winning women’s Deadlift only Best Lifter with a 363 lb. Deadlift. Congratulations to all the ladies that competed! Now the men’s full power. Hunter Ladner-Ms. 148 teen (16-17) squat 413, Deadlift 485, and total 1151. Dink Lumley (MS). Looked very strong in the 275 teen (18-19). Setting world records in all lifts and total. Squatting 540, bench 319, Deadlift 540, with a 1361 total. Malcolm Smith (AL). 242 master (45-49) with a squat of 534 lbs. Rich Wharton had a squat 551, and total of 1344, for the world record in the 275 master (50-54). Joe Morrow, always puts on a show for the audience. With the physique of a bodybuilder, Joe was lifting in the open 148 class, squat 534, Deadlift 600, and total of 1482. That is a huge 10.36 times body weight total raw. Joe also won the men’s full power Best Lifter. Chris Herwald 165 (20-23) records in the squat 391 and total of 1173. Caleb Peterson 181 (20-23) set records in the squat 545, Deadlift 567, and total 1465. Bart Nabergall 220 (20-23) DT class world record in the squat, with a lift of 479. Then Bart’s brother Nate Nabergall broke the 242 open DT record in the squat, with a 633 lb. effort. A huge JC Boyd-Ms was actually training for a bodybuilding show, but still found the strength to break the squat 573 and total 1663 records. Patrick Canal (LA), set the new bench world record in the 181 master (60-64) division with a 292 lb. Lift.. Eric Downey-La in the 242 open had one of the largest benches of the meet with his huge 507 raw bench. John Newby-from the Fort Walton Beach, Fl area had the largest bench of the meet with a bench of 512 lb. in the open SHW – DT division. The bencher that stole the show was Garrett Griffin-La. Garrett tried but did not make weight. He was going to lift in the open 181 class, but at the last minute had to move up to the 198 class. Garrett stepped on the scales looking like he was weighing in for a bodybuilding show, and barely missed making weight (183 lbs.) Garrett didn’t break any records, but did take home the men’s Best Lifter award for the bench only division! Imagine how strong this man could have been if he hadn’t been depleted from trying so hard to make weight? Tom Deputy (FL) is the new owner of the Deadlift record in the 220 master (55-59) class with a lift of 479 lbs. And to the most senior lifter of the meet, Sheldon Schultz (FL). Mr. Schultz is the proud owner of the 275 master (70-74) record with his pull of 451 lbs! Wow, sir. You definitely inspired me! I just hope I am still able to lift then. You are definitely an inspiration to many lifters! Joe Morrow-Ms has already won the full power Best Lifter, and now adds the Deadlift only Best Lifter to his collection! The team competition was stiff. Four teams entered, two from Louisiana (team Boad, and Raw 504) one team from Mississippi, No Holds Barred, and one from Florida, Rock Solid Barbell. There was a tie with NHB & RSBB with Rock Solid Barbell owned by Carol Ann Myers winning the Team Championship. The tiebreaker was Best Lifter points. RSBB had the men’s and women’s full power, and the men and women’s Deadlift only best lifters on their team. Now the largest lifts of the meet. For the women. Carol Ann Myers had the largest lifts across the board with 374, 220, 380, and a 974 total on only 4 attempts. For the men. Andy Bowen had the largest squat at 672 lbs. Weighing just 204, the largest bench was done by John Newby of Fort Walton Beach, Fl. The largest Deadlift of the meet was 650 lbs. shared by four lifters. Jared Wilsey 198, Andy Bowen 220, Phil Maranto 242, and JC Boyd 275. And the largest total goes to Raw 504’s Eric Frank. With a 1735 total as a light 275er. Now on to the last winner of the day. We had a 2010 APA RAW NATIONALS poster (18 by 24) signed by all the lifters and framed. The winning ticket holder was Jojo Brasseaux from the Volunteer state of Tennessee. Now for the most surprising lift of the meet. Many of you know Big Seth Coker as being a big, equipped bencher. Reputation well deserved. I am especially proud of Seth for stepping outside his comfort zone and doing a raw Deadlift only division. Seth pulled an amazing 551 lbs. In his first Deadlift meet! Congrats Seth!
