2008 APF High School Nationals

The attached snapshot by Teresa Frank gives an excellent overview of our recent APF High School Nationals. The meet was on 2 elevated carpeted platforms. As typical for a Garry Frank/Hardcore Barbell production the backdrop was airbrushed in a patriotic theme specific to the event. The lifter staging area was behind the backdrop. Lifter entry from an opening between the platforms resulted in increased focus on each lifter as they approached the platform for their attempt. There were display screens in the lifter staging area and at each end of the platforms that worked well in keeping lifters, coaches, spectators, and officials current on lifter status. Having a red monolift on one platform and a blue monolift on the other fit well visually into the meet scheme. Both days of the competition were well attended. Feedback from all involved was very positive. This was a great start to what's intended to be an annual event.
