Goodwin boys…

Trey did 120X2, 125X2, and 130X2 pm snatch, then followed with 140X2, 150X2, and 160X2 on the clean and jerk. One of the better workouts I have ever seen him do.

Texas State Championships
February 9, 2007 by wichitafallsweightliftingIts been a couple of weeks, and yes we should have had something up here about the Texas State Championships before now. No detailed results for this meet, but one thing stands out. Every single lifter from WFW did both a competition Personal Record snatch, and a competition PR clean and jerk. You cant get much better than that.
Caleb and Rose
February 9, 2007 by wichitafallsweightliftingCaleb Ward did a 120 double in the snatch, then hitting a 130 snatch at the Texas state championships. Rose hit an 85kg Jerk off the rack yesterday, and came VERY CLOSE with 90kg.
Training lately…
January 9, 2007 by wichitafallsweightliftingIts been a while since I updated this and I will probably leave some stuff out.

Texas State Championships
December 21, 2006 by wichitafallsweightliftingI talked to Tracy Steinberg last night (the meet director), the deadline of December 27th is a POSTMARKED deadline, not a recieved deadline, so that gives some of you a little breathing room. She also said she was likely extending the deadline a few days due to many requests, but I wouldnt count on this. Mary was nice enough to print off 25 entry forms for us, which I will be bringing to practice. The date of the meet is January 20-21st. I would reall like to take as many of you as possible, so mark your calender and get the entry forms turned in!
Also for those of you who are used to just giving me your entry form, for this meet everyone is mailing their own entry form in.
12/21/06
December 21, 2006 by wichitafallsweightliftingLast night Neiman snatched a Personal Record of 30kg, not bad for a girl who just turned 9 years old. It was one of those lifts I wish I had a video of, absolutely perfect. Other noteworthy performances were Blaine Townsend clean and jerking 85kg for 10 singles that were all really solid, and Kyle Lauck clean and jerking 57.5kg for 8 singles that were very solid.
