The first UPA Sanctioned event in Minnesota took place on June 21^st, 2008. Special thanks goes to West Metro Motors and Lloyd Hemenway. Spotters Neil Hesick John Wood, and Travis Topel. They saved many lifters on this day. Table helpers Manley Nutter and Deb Johnson. Music guys Tayler Nutter and Graham Pernu. I would also like to thank DJ Nutter for bringing the PA system. Gregg Daminga for the use of his bench and bar.

In the tested division ten year old Brennan “the bear” Lewis had a 2/4 day . This was Brennan’s first lifting event and he showed no fear. In the 148 class Jake Mohoney got his opener. In the 198 class Timothy James who drove up from Florida and dropped a weight class on the way up couldn’t get a lift to lock out. Lawrence Kollauf (61) was the only lifter that had a perfect day. Finishing with a 341 “raw” lift in the Master 220 class. Lloyd Hemenway suffered from dropping a weight class and could not get a lift finished. Mike Anderson only got his opener. Shwt. Dave Lewis went 2/4 setting a new national record in his weight class.

In the untested division teenage 181 class Dave Nelson got his opener at 541. It was a very strong opener for this 19 year old who weighed in at 173. John Chrencik missed his opener and then had his next two lifts passed finishing with 440 lift. Lance Stanley went 2/3 getting credit for a 506. Roger Hennigar went 2/3 hitting a 566 in the master 198 class. First place in the open 220 class went to Jake Prazak. Jake missed his opener of 806 but smoked on his second attempt. He then called 836 on a third. He locked out the left side first and when the right side locked the left side gave. Jake is a very controlled lifter and should hit some bigger numbers soon. Second in the open 220 class went to John Berding who hit a 670. In most meets a 670 would have easily won the class. John is a very impressive lifter at the age of 42. Dale Schmidtkey got only his second passed in the 220 master class. Dylan Hanson went 2/4 hitting his third with 550. Tom Pernu could only get his opener a v ery strong 525 at master 242. In the master 275 class Dave Harrison smoked his third attempt after missing the same weight on his first two attempts. Charles Kadrlik had an off day missed all three tries at 645. In the master Shwt Scott Nutter came out with his A-game went 2/3 hitting a personal record of 611.

I would like to thank all the lifters that traveled here to attend this event. We had nineteen lifters. Of the 61 attempts only 24 got white lights (39% passed). Judges were Travis Borstad, Drew ?????, and Jerry Gnerre. Mike Anderson handled the weigh ins. Dave Lewis was tested. The meet took under two hours from start to finish. Once again a special thank you to UPA State Chair Lloyd Hemenway for his never ending support and sponsorship that makes these events possible.
