The Hermantown crew headed up by Joe Cooper & myself put on this annual event again in fine fashion in Hermantown Minnesota which has become the Mecca of Powerlifting in Minnesota . This event every year not only brings out the best in Masters lifting, it also brings new lifters into Powerlifting. Some noteworthy lifting that I saw was Judy Drenth setting a new women’s masters deadlift record of 305. Tony Williams setting a new state record squat of 485. Joel Bernstsen setting 3 masters state records in Squat, Bench and Deadlift. Dan Kennedy a 275 lber in 16-17 division squatted 605 and totaled 1475 simply outstanding, hes got great potential to become one of the best. Thanks to all that lifted you did an outstanding job and gave the spectators an awesome show, also thanks to all that helped judge, spot & load without you guys there wouldn’t be meets!
