*Son Light Power national record

The Son Light Power Teenage Nationals & Ohio Open Bench Press/Deadlift Championship was held April 2, 2011 at Fit 1 in Mansfield, Ohio. Thanks to owners Mae and Roy Leedy for hosting this event.

In the SLP Ohio Open assisted bench press competition Heath Piper won at novice 220 with 335. Faron Parker (named after famed country singer Faron Young) broke the national record at 308 with his first official 500 bench! Chris "Dog Face" Spencer won at submaster/242 with 365 while Terry Mailloux won at 45-49/275 with 455. Roy Leedy, our host, failed to get his opener of 420 in at 50-54/220, and bowed out of the competition. Adam Werner also had problems with his opener, failing with 525 at open/242. Our best lifter among the assisted lifters was Mike Meadows, who broke the national record at open/275 with 620.

For the raw lifters, newcomer Stephanie Friebel set the national record at junior women/132 with 105. Mae Nar Leedy broke the mark at 50-54/97 with 75. Angie Dingus got her national record at 55-59/114 with her personal best 120 while Deb Mitchell led all the women lifters with a new national record of 165 at 55-59/148. Our final lady lifter was Ellen Haring, who broke the record at 60-64/148 with 110. Deb was our best lifter.

In the men's division it was Brenton Burgess with 270, for the win at novice/181 while Caleb Barney won at junior/165 with 240. Brad Robbins took the win at submaster/181 with 300. James Wells broke the national record at 45-49/308 with a solid 485 while James Danison finished second there with 405. Don Hardesty broke the state record for the 50-54/181 class with 280 while Willie Cyrus won at 220 with 325. Lester Champer won at 55-59/220 with 280. In the 60-64 age group we had two new lifters, Pete Vega and Rex Snyder. Both finished with new national records for their respective classes. Pete "Sparkles" Vega ended with 220 @ 181 while Rex hit 300 for his final attempt at shw. Our best master lifter was Mike Brown who broke the national and state record for the 65-69/242 class with 385! Our final raw lifer was Pete Champer, who set the mark for the police & fire/junior/198 class with 300.

We had one curler in the form of Chad Trukovich, a man who holds the record for the fastest knockout in an AMA fight, five seconds. Chad broke the national record at submater/220 with 200.

Moving to the deadlift event, Brenton Burgess broke the national record at novice/181 with 525. Brian Seitz won both the 40-44 and open/198 class titles, finishing with 565. Our biggest pull of the day came from Troy Novitski, who finished with 635 for his win at 40-44/308. Theo Muir won at 50-54/181 with 405.

Now for the teen national results. In the assisted bench press competition, Logan Worthy broke the national record at 13-15/148 with 270, taking the win over Logan Dallas, who finished with 235. Also at 13-15 was 181 winner Zach Stewart who won with 205. Our only other assisted bencher was Mason Harbour, who should have easily won the best lifter award. However, Mason had some problems with his bench shirt, failing with his opener of 390 three times and was out of the competition.

In the raw division Colin Harbour took the win at disabled teenage 13-15/132 with 95. Colin didn't know he was going to lift in the meet until that day, so he was both nervous and excited to say the least. The result of a stroke shortly after his birth, the kid never gave up. Once told he would never walk, Colin has defied the odds and we all look forward to a complete healing of his body some day. Because of Colin's inspirational lifting he was awarded the best lifter award among the teenagers! Jordan Grupenhof won at 13-15/198 with 255 while Shawn Rogers set the national mark at 220 with 295. In the 16-17 age group Aleck Muir won at 132 with 190 while Collin Smith took the 181's with 215. Josh Lehner got both an Ohio state and national record at 198 with 310 while Sean Sandoval rounded out the field at 220 with 220. At 18-19/198 it was Aaron Rodriquez with 290. Lone curler Logan Dallas won at 13-15/148 with 135. Logan also competed in the bench for reps competition, finishing with 20 reps with 140. Both of Dallas' lifts were new national and state records.

For the deadlift event, Colin Harbour won again at disabled 13-15/132 with his second state record of the day, this time ending with 135. Zach Stewart broke the national record for the 13-15/198 class with 435. At 16-17 it was Aleck Muir with a new Ohio state record of 275 @ 132. Mason Harbour, Colin's big brother, pulled an amazing 540 @ 165 for a new national mark and the best lifter award! Sean Sandoval wo at 220 with 430, another national record! Our final puller was 18-19/198 winner, Aaron Rodriquez, who finished with 470.

The team award went to Fit 1 Power with members Mae Nar and Roy Leedy, Pete Vega, Rex Snyder, Don Hardesty, Angie Dingis, Terry Mailloux, Deb Mitchell, Ellen Haring, Caleb Barney, Mike Hicks, Willie Cyrus, Brenton Burgess and Josh Lehner. The second place team award went to The Dog Face Power Team from Heath, Ohio.

Thanks to all those who helped with the judging, loading and spotting, the setting up and tearing down the lifting area. See you all again next year.                                                                                     Dr. Darrell Latch
