Newcomer of the Year-Clint Poore
By Eric Todd
Clint Poore was selected as this year’s “Newcomer of the Year.” He bested all other newcomers this year by a vote of the membership. Clint started his all-round journey by winning the men’s division in the Old Time Strongman Championship. He defeated two former champions and broke the all-time Hackenschmidt Floor press en route. He set five records at the “Lift for Leroy” record day, five more records at the record day after the Dino Gym meet, and placed 6th at the Postal Championship meet. He even became a level one official in his very first year of competing. This is a very well-deserved award for him. Congratulations to Clint Poore, Newcomer of the Year!
