The 2023 Presidential Cup had a great turnout this year with 8 lifters taking part, including some new lifters with great promise. We had 6 men and 2 very good women lifters, with Barry Bryan taking home the Presidential Cup with a great 110 Kg. [242 Lbs.} Bench Press  with Feet in Air. It was a tough decision, as there were a lot of great lifts accomplished. All lifts were judged on the three official system. The officials were Denny Habecker, Beth Skwarecki, Barry Bryan, & Barry Pensyl.

Two lifts attended the July Colorado Record Day and we had a great time lifting. Sanjiv came down from Denver and Crystal represented Colorado Springs. The lifts were performed at VASA Fitness which certainly made for some coordinating with the other patrons and some curious glances. Two sessions were held with an early morning session for Sanjiv and a later session for Crystal. RJ Jackson hosted and officiated the Record Day.
