The Son Light Power Ho-Chunk Nation Open Bench Press/Deadlift Championship was held May 29, 2010 at the Wellness Center in Baraboo, Wisconsin. Thanks once again to the Ho-Chunk Nation for hosting this event and to Joe White Eagle for all of his promotional work.                                                   In the assisted bench press competition, newcomer Cassandra Anderson set the Wisconsin state record for the 13-15/114 class with 85. Training partner Jessica Laue broke the state record at 13-15/123 with 75. State record holder Dan Markey won at 18-19/220 with a strong 360. Our final assisted lifter was Terry Turner, who won at 55-59/275, finishing with a new state record of 380.                                                                                                         For the raw division it was Katie Kast for the win at 13-15/114 with a new state record of 75. Fred Kudos won at 16-17/198 with 240. In the master men's 45-49 age group, another first-timer, Ralph Kraft, set a new state record at 114 with 145. Best lifter Dave Leslie won at 220 with a strong 430. Allen Parness took the title at 65-69/181 with a new state record of 175.                                In the open raw division Brian Helgert broke the state record at 148 with a personal best 285. William Bacon won at 165 with 320 while Scott Grade broke the state record at 181 with 365. At 220 it was Randy Fry with 405 while Jon Schaitel battled it out with Erik Schlick for the title at 242. Jon took the win with 360 while Erik finished with a close 350. Dave Leslie also competed in the bench for reps competition, finishing with 20 reps @ 225!       Dave Leslie won his third title of the day at 45-49/220 with his winning curl of 150. Kevin Spirek finished second there with 150 as well. Don Tobias broke the state record for the 55-59/198 class with 130. Richard Lee, who grew up in Baraboo, moved down to the 70-74/148 class for the win and a new state record of 95. Our final curler was Jon Schaitel, who finished with a new state record of 140 @ open/242. Dave Leslie was awarded the best lifter trophy among the curlers.                                                              In the deadlift event Sammy Greco (The Quiet One), had a great day, winning at novice/165 with a personal best 415. Raymond Hood won at 13-15/308 with 340 while Richard Sadowski won at 55-59/275 with 490. In the open classes William Bacon won at 165 with 400 while Erik Schlick pulled the biggest weight of the day at 242 with 530. The best lifter award, however, went to Scott Grade, who pulled his first ever 500 deadlift for the win at 181. We also had two 2-man teams, both of which finished with new state records for their respective classes. At 50-54/242 it was Bob Hanson and Stuart Coogan, breaking their won state record by 25 pounds to finish with 925. Their final attempt with 1005 probably would have went, but the left collar gave way and the lift was over. At 70-74/165 it was Richard Lee and Allen Parness with 425.                                                                                               Thanks to my son Joey and Joe White Eagle for doing a great job loading and spotting and to my helpers Ms. Anderson and Julie Arneson for taking some great pictures and serving as our trophy girl. See you all again later this fall for the SLP Northern Grand Nationals!                                                                                       Dr. Darrell Latch
