We especially encourage new lifters and first time competitors to come out for our Novice sessions on SUNDAY. We always get an enthusiastic, encouraging crowd, and it’s a great opportunity to get some experience on the platform. (To be eligible to compete in the Novice session, you may have lifted at three or fewer prior sanctioned meets.)
FOR NOVICE LIFTERS ONLY: Singlets and oly shoes are NOT required for novice lifters – but clothing must be fitted to allow judges to gauge full lockout at elbows and knees (that is, leggings are permitted but baggy sweatpants are not) Coaches, please encourage your new lifters to join us!
SINGLETS AND OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING SHOES ARE REQUIRED FOR OPEN SESSION COMPETITORS.
Confirmation of weigh-in and lifting times will be emailed to all competitors once registration closes on Monday, 9/29/14. This email will also include useful day-of information (parking, food, etc).
We’ll be recognizing the top 3 lifters in each category: Open Men, Open Women, Novice Men and Novice Women (to be eligible to compete in the Novice session, you may have lifted at three or fewer prior sanctioned meets).
