24 State Records were set.

 

 

The 2003 APA CT Open Bench Bash had a great turnout with 68 lifters from 5 states showing up to battle it out.  5 WPA World records and 24 State Records were set.  Special thanks to MetRx and PLUSA for providing some great giveaways.

The women got us off to a great start with Jean Putnam setting a NY State Record in the heavyweight division and Jo-Anne Poirier setting a Master WPA World Record.  Rebecca Crapo from MA took home the Women’s Best Lifter award with some very nice lifting of her own.  Tim Montague won the Teen 13-15 division with another CT state record to add to his growing collection.  The Teen 16-17 division had some terrific lifters but Michael Marzik stole the show.  17 yr. old Michael put on an incredible performance ending the day with a WPA World Record lift of 440 @ 172 lbs.  I can’t wait to see what he does in the future.  The Teen 18-19 division was won by CT’s David McGowan who set a CT State record with a big 405.  The Junior division was well stocked with the top 3 competitors all setting CT state records.  Bryan Hitchcock came out on top with a picture perfect 375.  Ernie Vega, competing in his first meet, looked like a veteran out there with his CT State record 440.  John Syc was a terrific teen champ and continued on his record setting ways in the Junior division with a CT State record 330.  The Submasters were won by WPA World record holder Brett Moorehead.  Brett didn’t have his best day but still had enough to hold off some stiff competition with 380 @ 162.  Glenn Jackson set a MA State record to take 2nd and Kevin O’Connell and Dave Swinburne set CT State records as well.  The Master 40-44 division was another packed class with MA’s Michael Minichiello coming out on top with a strong MA State record of 500.  The Men’s Master 45-49 division was won by Vinnie Vardine of NY.  Vinnie slammed up a WPA World record 577.5 for the win.  Scott Lee hadn’t competed in quite a few years but you sure wouldn’t have known it by his CT State record lift in this same division.  58 yr. old Roland Cote again took home the Best Master Lifter award with his 420 @ 217 in the Master 50-59 division.  The Men’s 60-69 had only two competitors but they both put on quite the show with MA’s Eeli Mard coming out on top with a WPA Master World record 337.5 over Jerry Beals’ CT State record 290.  14 yr. old Jason Staples continues to improve and took home the first place trophy in the 132 lb. class.  Jason Strucinski was our 148 lb. champ and broke an 11 yr. old record with a big 345 CT State record.  The 165 lb. class was won by our submaster champ Brett Moorehead.  Mike Cannava of MA took second with his MA State record lift of 315.  The 181 lb. class featured another incredible performance by NY’s Craig Schmalz who took home the Best Lightweight Lifter award for his effort.  Craig benched a new drug-tested WPA World record 505 @ 180.5 and just missed 515!  It was an amazing display of strength and I saw Craig after the meet helping out some lifters looking for bench advice.  The 198 lb. class was won by Tom Stucke with a great 480.  Tom is going to hit that magic 500 soon!  The 220 lb. class was won by our Best Heavyweight Lifter Peter Barrett.  Pete put up an easy 560 and just missed 585.  Craig Plante won second place with his CT State record 502.5 which just edged Michael Minichiello’s MA State record of 500.  The 242 lb. class was won by Jason Sprague with a solid 525.  Glenn Jackson had a good day winning the 275 lb. class with his MA State record 465.  The SHW class was won by 24 yr. old Rob Weber who benched an easy 575 and came ever so close with 600.  Bill Brauner set a NY State record in this same class with a nice 475.  Thanks again to all the lifters for coming out and showing your support and we’ll see you in June!   Donna Slaga
