The 14th Annual Hudson Natural Open was once again a huge success. Thanks to all the help from both Minnesota, and Wisconsin. This event filled up to our set limit of contestants by mid September. I hated to turn away people from this event, but a one platform, one day event can only handle so many lifters before the quality of the meet suffers. Neils Anderson trophies were given out. T-shirts were available, and for the first year of the Hudson Natural Open’s history, we had a Minnesota/Wisconsin team challenge. Hudson is located on the border of Minnesota and Wisconsin, so we get good participation from both states. This year Minnesota won the traveling trophy by a very slim margin. (1017 wilkes points to 1010 wilkes points) Each state had a team of 10 lifters. Of those 10 lifters, the top 6 wilkes formulas were averaged to determine the winning state. Congratulations to Minnesota this year. The Challenge was a nice addition to the meet. Results submitted by Shawn Cain. (Meet Director)
