On a cold and stormy Minnesota Saturday twenty-two of the best benchers in the area came to Montgomery, Minnesota to show their stuff. Twenty -Four American Record attempts were made only ten were successful. Many State Records were also set. On her second attempt Patti Carter set a Sub-Master record in the 148 class lifting 141. In the 148 Master 45-49 class Debbie Damminga broke her own American Record with a lift of 196. SWH Rachel Nutter who was suffering from a training injury went three for three ending with a 336. Seaver Madison started with an American Record but was unable to get credit for the attempts and got no lift. Master Bencher Chuck Morris set an American record on his second attempt with 336. Sub-Master Bencher Dave Ross went two for three and was credited with a 436 in the 198 class. Second place went to Mark “Bama” Hibbing with 331.In the 220 Teenage 18-19 class Zach Zenzen and Ernie Lillibridge had a real battle. Ernie (the lighter of the two) took his second attempt and set a new American Record only to have Zach attempt five pounds more with success. On third attempts Ernie took 471 with success only to have Zach go 481 for the win and the new American Record. Very nice benching by both lifters. In the 220 Master 50-54 Class Multi-World Champion Dick “The Body” Zenzen who recently had a shoulder replaced benched a 306. Master Bencher Dave Murphy set an American Record with a successful 556. Shwt. Dave Lewis could not get a lift in.
In the APF Division 198 Master 40-44 Bencher Dean Reiman got a third attempt of 586. Not only was this triple body weight but it was also an American Record. In the Teenage 18-19 220 class Tyler Kinsella was only successful with his 376 opener. In the 220 Open class Timothy James who traveled up from Florida was successful with his 551 opener. Master 60-64 Bencher Larry Kollauf benched a raw and very easy 326 . Corey Akers Open 242 Bencher could not get a lift in. Erne Lillibridge Sr also could not get a lift in the 308 Open class. Scott “Beef” Riggs only got his opener of 526.Charlie Kadrlik lifting Sub-Master Shwt was credited with the biggest bench of the day with a second attempt of 636. Shwt Master 40-44 Bencher Scott Nutter went two for three getting credit for a 626. Not bad for a guy that did all the set up work for this event.
All monies taken in from this event went directly to the Rick Hussey Benefit. Our goal was to raise $1000 we hit $1200. Rick has already received the check and a 8x10 picture of all the lifters from this event is hanging on the wall at Big Iron Gym. Special thanks to judges Jerry Gnerre, Mike Anderson, and John Wood. Spotters Trent Hedtke, Todd Hedtke, Zoey Zorn, and Tyler Hedtke. Desk workers Manley Nutter, Deb Johnson, and Don Crump. Special thanks to Scott Nutter for all the work he did to organize and set up this great event. This was Scott’s first attempt at organizing a meet and he did a top notch job!
