It was great to see all the kids having a lift on the day and now at Cougars we have another 10 or so 10-12 year olds coming through as well that did not lift - but we still need to work hard getting these kids in the sport
The highlight of the day for me was Lachlan Miller who pulled out an 18Kg PB to take the 105+ category from his throwing friend Brandon Pritchard
James Norman with a head virus took out the mens overall best lifter award
Harry took out the 56Kg men and was unlucky not to be given his 73kg Clean and Jerk
The Catlow-Elliott's both managed PB's with James getting a 6Kg total PB
Jett also got 6/6 and PB's
and Josh Mak got 6/6 and PB's - he is really starting to develop as a lifter
