A huge thanks to head judge Joe Dalton,  side judges Mark Harris,  Maria McCullough and Matt Wray, score keeper Tom McCullough and Maria McCullough, expeditor Fred McCullough, platform manager Josh Ash, spotters and loaders Jose Marroquin, Dionisio Hurtado and Cesar Martinez.  Without the hard work of these individuals, the meet would not have taken place.

I want to also say thank you to Jeff Snyder for showing what great athletes we have in this sport.  At the end of the meet Jeff gave his best lifter trophy to 17 year old Juan Gonzalez.  Juan was so grateful to get the trophy he broke down in tears.  All the rest of the adults watching this great act of sportsmanship had the same reaction.  Truly the most touching act I have seen in this sport in 27 years of involvement.  Exactly why we all keep doing what we do for the sport.  Congratulations Jeff Snyder for having such a big heart.

Thanks also to all the lifters who attended this meet and all of the people who drove out to watch.  A special thanks also to Inzer Advance Designs for supporting this sport and our meets for many years, Mike Lambert of Powerlifting USA who has been there supporting us all for a long time and a huge thanks to Houston ISD and Sam Houston High School for all of their support over the past 7 years.
