Due to heavy rains and ooding of the North Central College’s football eld 3 days prior to our event- we had to cancel the track and eld portion of the Spring Games. With many people pitching in – and thanks to Kathy Craig of Hinsdale South HS—we were able to get last minute use of HSHS and move the event to April 28th. Unfortunately we did lose some athletes and volunteers, but it was truly amazing the number of people who were able to reschedule and attend. Our thanks to Hinsdale South HS, our volunteers, coaches, parents and athletes for being exible and helping to make this event HAPPEN! Thankfully, we were able to hold the 2013 Powerlifting competition on April 21st at North Central College’s Merner Fieldhouse. 40 athletes competed in squat, deadlift and bench press We had great competition and our lifters never cease to amaze themselves, their families, coaches and spectators! Our thanks to Larry Mayer and his great Powerlifting crew- Dave Beckett, Ron Krupp, Colin Cousineau, and the North Central College wrestlers and soccer players. FVSRA lifter Matt Riddle lifted an AMAZING 1000 total pounds at this competition- Bench Press 240# Deadlift 400# Squat #360 Many thanks to ALL of the volunteer who came out to help that day and especially to some of our long time In-Charge volunteers (10+ years) and supporters- and to the many Knights of Columbus Councils who supported the event through sponsorship and volunteer manpower.
