This was @tessa_lifts PR Clean at 73kg! 2021 is looking good for this girl! We need to clean up a few things in the Jerk but her Clean is looking explosive! #countrystrong #countrystrongweightlifting #cleanandjerk @tamdguad

@aleccoulter_67kg hit a big PR Snatch BMT (Block Mid-Thigh) at 80 kg for a double! He showed some solid fight! After missing the 2nd he jumped right back in and nailed the 2nd on a 3rd attempt! As a coach you want to see that fight in an athlete! #countrystrong #countrystrongweightlifting #snatch #snatchfromblocks #weightlifting

#2020youthnationalsweightlifting is in the books for Country Strong! This was our largest contingent of athletes to date! This was the first Youth Nationals for 5 out of the 6 while being completely unorthodox. Four of these athletes are so new to the sport that they haven’t competed in person yet and this gave them a good idea of how a meet flows! Time to cheer on our fellow weightlifting clubs! @pfp_barbell @pittsburghbarbell and many others! #countrystrong #countrystrongweightlifting

PR Double on Front Squat at 170kg for @jaxthomas11 !! He has a Super Total meet in January! #countrystrong #countrystrongweightlifting #frontsquat #weightlifting

@adriana_gilliam22 had a solid first Youth Nationals meet! This girl has been wrestling and lifting and balancing both with absolute grace!! Wrestling practice by itself is pretty brutal but combined with weightlifting can be pretty draining. Here is her 38kg Snatch in the 49kg class. #countrystrong #countrystrongweightlifting #youthnationals2020 #usaweightlifting #snatch #cleanandjerk

This was a really good 1st Youth Nationals for @tessa_lifts !! She had a little misstep at the very end end of this C&J at 70kg and got called for a no lift! She was successful at her opener at 64. She also hit a PR Clean at 73 after this 2nd attempt that was absolutely smoked and then couldn’t quite get the jerk. We are extremely proud of her effort! #countrystrong #countrystrongweightlifting #youthnationals2020 #usaweightlifting

@josh.gilliam with a 67kg C&J in the 61kg class 14-15 group! After he shook the nerves on his opening Snatch he went 5 for 6! Good for for 7 in Snatch; 6 in C&J and 7th in total! #countrystrong #countrystrongweightlifting #youthnationals2020
