Clark’s Record Day
By Bill Clark
CLARK’S RECORD DAY AND FUN DAY
What was expected to be a big crowd proved to be a very small crowd of five gym members. Not a single soul from outside Clark’s Gym entered.
Since it was the first sanctioned meet in 14 months, plans had been made to match the county health protocol and an anticipated crowd of at least a dozen.
The five local lifters all checked in with their vaccination cards and two – Nick Frieders and Tony Hose – did their USAWA second quarter postal lifts six weeks early.
We were long gone by noon.
