Samantha Jo Snowder came to this meet with one mission: hit her elite total at the 123 pound weight class and on her last two deadlift attempts she came within inches of getting just that. Sam had the best meet of her young career this past weekend hitting a PR squat, PR bench, PR deadlift and a PR total! She dug deep during this meet to squeeze out every pound she could after making a 11 pound cut to get to the 123 pound weight class and she bettered every previous number and total she had done before this meet.
When she stepped up to the platform on her second attempt of the deadlift and the announcer, announced she was attempting to hit her elite total and you could feel the buzz in the room and hear the crowd getting louder and cheering her on. She ripped it off the floor and you had the feeling it was a wrap but she just could not get it locked out. So close! What a warrior effort! Sam never gave up and she did not get down on herself either. She smiled and knew she just gave her all today. A very valiant effort indeed!
Sam I am very proud of you and the progress you have made this training cycle and your progress shined today. I know you did not hit what you wanted but you had a fantastic meet with PR's across the board and you got your swag back. Lets get back in the lab and get prepared to go again for our next event and smash that total! Congratulations again Snowette!....
