Congrats, Jason!
A BIG CONGRATS to Jason E. for his amazing performance at the 2017 SPS "Rite of Passage" weightlifting meet on Sunday afternoon. Jason had one of the most impressive showings we've ever seen from an Arena Ready weightlifting athlete, going SIX FOR SIX in his lifts and setting big PRs in the snatch and clean & jerk! I can't state how spectacular that sort of performance is on meet day, especially considering this was his first ever competition!
Looking cool, calm, and collected the entire time, Jason went 87kg/110kg for a 197kg total - and showed some clean technique and gutsy fight the entire session. We couldn't be more proud of his hard work, his sportsmanship, and his positive attitude - he looked like a true pro out there on the platform, and we were fielding compliments from other coaches and athletes on his performance.
A BIG THANKS to Coaches Sarah, Hillary, and Liz for their keen eyes, calm presence, and mastery of the warm-up room. It's always fun to see our awesome, experienced coaches put an athlete in a great position for success - and then even more of a blast when the athlete seizes the day and performs like a rockstar.
Great job, Jason - can't wait to watch you crush it even more moving forward!
