Kentucky State Open
Well, we arrived the
night before the meet down in Henderson Kentucky. The drive was
brutal flatlands with a caravan of 3 cars. The trip only had one
stop from departure to arrival (probably because we didn't have any
helpers to get fucked up and need a piss break every 15 minutes).
Anyway, the hotel rooms were nice, no broken ironing boards or loud
late night fights, just lots of sleep, and smells from Schrock's
room.
The lifting started at 10am, and first up with squats. The team was
a little bigger than previous years, and the strength of the lifters
were all similar, especially in the rookie class. This made the
coaching difficult for wrapping and making sure warm-ups were done,
but everyone received the cast wrap, and the advice they needed to
accel whether in their first meet or 10th meet. The notable mentions
for the squat were Montoya's first 600lb squat in a meet, and Stevos
attempt at 700. Tiffany came close to a 300lb squat but couldn't
quite muscle it out.
Next up was the bench. Rookies struggled at this lift, looking like
their triceps were made of fuckin play dough, and nerves were as
rattled as a 12 car pileup. But every one pulled through and came
with a PR for the most part (accept for the rookie Kenton who almost
lost his teeth on the first attempt, too bad he didn't that would
have been a cool story HAHA.) Benchs of note were Montoyas 400lb all
balls bench, and Stevos 460 in a shit shirt which big Matt could
have done for 8.
After the bench on to the deadlift where everyone looked good. Tiff
and Kevin battled it out and the two came out with PRs of 300 and
305 respectively. Good job Kevin you beat a girl. Other deadlifts of
note were Stevos 605 pull for a PR. Rookie Devons 510, and too many
other PRs to mention.
The BSU squad took home the open team trophy once again and
dominated all competition with a swift kick in the purple headed
yogurt slinger. Stevo had a super high total of 1745, and Dan didn't
bomb out. Good meet everyone, stay strong over break, and be ready
for national caliber lifting come next semester. |
