As a follow-up, we will be scheduling group training days with the kids to help us solidify their training routines and be a resource moving forward. I would like to make an appeal to all MN USAPL members to look around you.  Take a minute to notice young lifters who show a good work ethic and a desire to succeed.  Strike up a conversation with them about the sport.  Tell them about the meet in May and offer to help them prepare.  You never know, you might be talking to a future champion!

Thanks to everyone who made this happen.  Mad, Tony, Paul, Maura, and Nick for your time and attention.  Rosemount United Methodist Church for providing the venue, and Jason Bohn for providing the vision.  The Press Gym for their enthusiastic support in loaning equipment.
