Hudson…there is a contest in Hudson, WI this year!. Meet directors Chuck Eaton and Ray Curtis are proudly hosting the Western Wisconsin Open on October 31 at the Hudson House. Sanction number WI-2015-09 – as in 9th contest in this calendar year. Will let you know when the entry form will be available. Cap is 60 competitors.

Summer Splash is the next contest for teenagers on July 25th in Omro, WI. Entry form can be found on the WHSPA website. It is an opportunity to qualify for a national level competition such as… ’16 HS Nationals in Orlando.

Did you break a state record at a contest in the state or another state or in another country?. I might not know about your accomplishment to recognize it properly. Please do let me know.

The IPF Raw Classic Worlds is still going on in Sweden right now and if I am reading the schedule correctly, Alex Pinnow and Andy Askow, Wisconsin college students lift tomorrow Wednesday. Stacie Pomrening of Neenah also lifts tomorrow.  Livestreaming and the schedule are available online. Our teammates are five hours ahead of us so you can watch raw powerlifting with your morning coffee.

Cheers!
