Another great national and world class lifter, Paul Wilder, broke the state record at police & fire/65-69/198 with 300. Our final lifter in the bench was our only casualty, Jason Leonhardt.

In the open division Rob Hampton won at 198 with 425, while Alan Hibbard pulled an easy 600 for the win at 275. Great to see Alan back in competition after bicep surgery in July.

Best Lifter - Men - WILLIAM BAITY                                                    Best Overall Lifter - Women - NICKIE STINE                                 *Son Light Power Kentucky state record

The Son Light Power Kentucky State Bench Press/Deadlift Championship was held November 14, 2009 at the Kentucky International Convention Center in Louisville, Kentucky. This event was part of the Kentucky Muscle Car and Muscle Expo hosted by Brent Jones, which included a classic car show, an arm wrestling competition and a bikini and bodybuilding competition. Also performing was The Omega Force Christian Power Team.                                                                                                In the raw bench press event Nickie Stine broke the Kentucky state record for the women's open 165 class with her first official 200 bench! Brian Gilmore, back from elbow surgery, got a new personal best and state record at novice 308 with 255. For the teenage men's 16-17/165 class we had quite a battle between Andrew DiSalvo and Justin Jacobsen. Andrew finished with his own personal best 285 for the win, while Justin finished with 250. At junior/220 was another close one between Marc Barnett and newcomer Meissan McDaniel. In the end it was Marc for the win with a new personal and state record 380. Meissan finished with 370. Taking the win at submaster 220 with another state record was Clint Poore, who finished with 415.                                           Our best lifter in the raw bench press competition went to Wayne Hall, who finished with a big 500 bench at 40-44/308. This also established a new state record for the class. At 50-54/148 it was Mark Evans with 230 for the win there while Jeff Layman won at 198, breaking his own state record with 320. Marvin Huber broke the state record at 55-59/148 with each of his attempts, finishing with 280. In the open division Clint Poore set his second state record of the day with his win at 220. Adam Bolog took the 242's with 335.                                                                                                        In the assisted division Sam Chapala tied his own state record at special olympic/181 with a strong 300. Chad Breeden finally got the state record he had been looking for at submaster/275, finishing with 550. Chad also won his first best lifter award in competition. For the 40-44/165 class Chris Flowers got his first official 400 bench, following that up with a successful fourth of 415! This was not only a new personal best for Chris but a new state record as well! Joe McDonald, who hasn't benched in two years, won at 50-54/220 with a solid 380. Not bad! Another great lifter, Tom Chapala, hit a new state record at 65-69/275 with a strong 380. In the open division it was Jason Figg with 425 @ 198, Clint Poore with 515 @ 220 and John Phillips with 425 @ 308.                                                                                                                 In the curl event Mark Evans got the win at both the 50-54 and open 148 classes with 110. Both were new state records for each class. Another state record was established for the open 198 class with Jeff Smalley's great 165 curl.                                           For the deadlift event once again it was Nickie Stine with a great personal best and state record 330 pull at open 165! Even tought Nickie was our only woman's competition, she was very deservingly awarded the best lady lifter of the day. Brian Gilmore continued his winning ways at novice/308, finishing with a new state record of 530. At 16-17/165 it was Anthony DiSalvo and Justin Jacobsen again. And once again Andrew came out on top with a new state record of 440 while Justin finished with a personal best 350. At junior/198 it was Dominique Vigiano with 450 for the win. Our best lifter in the deadlift competition was William Baity, who finished with his 660 opener @ 242.       Thanks to Tracy Barnett for taking some great pictures again and to Ashley Flowers who helped me at the table and served as our trophy girl and to Alex Gilmore and Clayton Allen who helped with the presentations. Thanks also to my sons D. C. and Joey Latch for doing a great job loading and spotting. A final thank you to The Fitness Factory and to the Kentuckiana Power Team for supplying our equipment and for all their help setting up and tearing down the equipment, and for helping in the meet in so many ways. See you all again next year.                                           Dr. Darrell Latch
