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.
