On May 8th 2004 lifters came from all parts of Texas to kick of the summer.  In the men's 132's. sixteen year old Justin Kees set  four Texas records by going 255, 190, 355 for a total of  770 pounds.  In the 148's there was a battle between 15 year old John Cortinez and 17 year old Chase Mott. Cortines lead the pack with a 325 squat.  Both came back in the bench to set Texas records with John's 230 and Chase's 235.  In the deadlift Chase ruled with a 400 pound deadlift.  In the end Chase took the 148's  with a 910 total.  In the 181's 54 year old Paul Boutte ended up ahead with a huge 585 squat. for a new world record.  47 year old Rick Jolly squatted  475 for a Texas record.  Boutte came back to take a 4th attempt at 625 and was almost there when his leg hyper extended, losing the weight.  The spotters did a great job of catching the weight but Paul's knee was in pretty bad shape.  Jolly benched a Texas record of 320 and believe it or not, Boutte came back, knee wrapped in ice and benched a Texas record of  340.  Jolly pulled a huge 520 deadlift for a Texas record, but Boutte stayed in the game hurt and only needed a 440 deadlift to win best lifter.  Jolly ended with a Texas record of 1315 and Boutte a 1365.  In the 198's it came down to junior lifter Justin Higgs, Donny Adams lifting in the open division, and 60 year old Jim Stovall.  Stovall came out on top with a Kansas record squat of 440 pounds.   Higgs came back to with the bench with a 265, while Stovall's 240 was just enough for another Kansas record.  In the deadlift Stovall came out on top once again with a 440 deadlift for another Kansas record.  Higgs came out on top at the end with an 1165 total, but Stovall took another Kansas record with his 1120 total.  In the 220's  there was a tight race between 19 year old Ihab Alnahhas and master lifter Chuck Bybee.  Chuck had a squat of 505 putting him on top.  In the bench press Bybee came out on top again with his 330 bench.  In the deadlift Bybee once again ruled with a 505 pull for a total of 1340.  In the 308's there was a huge total between 19 year old Sean McElroy, submaster Joe Lopez and 47 year old Nolan Meyers.  Joe did a great job with a 660 squat for a Texas record and Meyers came right back to hit 700 for a Texas record.  In the bench press Nolan came out on top once more with his 465 for yet another Texas record.  In the deadlift McElroy set a world teen record with his 530 pull, while Lopes set a submaster's Texas record with his 555 pull.  Nolan Meyers came out on the top of the pile once again by pulling 645 for a new master's World record.  In the end Meyers easily won the 308's with his total of 810 pounds and a new masters world record.

In the men's bench press only division, Chase Mott took 1st with his 235 bench in the teen 148 division.  Beau Harris set a Texas record in the teen 220's with a bench press of 365.   Charlie Turco hit an easy 400 for a Texas record in the masters 242's and  Glenn Wilkerson hit a 300 bench for a Texas record in the masters 60-64.

In the deadlift only division 10 year old Jessie Burttschell lifting in the 11-12 year old 148 division pulled a 225 for a World record in his first meet ever.  Deave Rodriguez lifting in his first meet ever set a Texas record in the teen 148's with his pull off 327.5 pounds.  Donny Adams lifting in the open 198's pulled a  430 deadlift.

In the women's 97 pound youth 11-12 division, Amanda Harris had a great day with 185 squat a 105 bench World record bench press, a 175 World record deadlift, and a 465 pound World record total.

A big thanks to our judges Mark Harris, Steve Burttschell, Ann Harris and Brian Kline, our spotters Brian Kline and James Evans and our score keeper Maria McCullough.  A big thanks to Principal Ken Estrella of Revere Middle School and Houston ISD for supporting the sport of powerlifting by allowing us to have these meets and giving us the great facilities.  A very special thanks to our great sponsors Inzer Advance Designs, who make the very best powerlifting equipment in the world, and Powerlifting USA, the only powerlifting magazine to read, for their continual support of both the APA and this sport.  Thanks also to all the great lifters who attended this meet.  Without lifters this meet and this sport would not exist.
