Powerlifting in the UP

Tanner took a bunch of guys from both Charlevoix and Petoskey High Schools to Newberry, MI in the UP for a powerlifting competition. I got to ride up with one of the boy's parents. It was fun to see Tanner really in his element. He was running around everywhere wrapping knees, helping with weight belts, and doing lots of encouraging to all the guys. He is such a great coach!

Here he is before the meet giving the Charlevoix team a little pep talk. You can see the 4 of the 5 platforms behind him. That was nice as a spectator becuase it kept things moving and there was always something going on somewhere.

We took a bunch of pictures of the guys lifting. A lot of them turned out pretty dark, but I just had to show this one. It is really fun becuase not only can you see how hard Kenny is working, but if you look close behind him you can see his teammate Otis yelling right along with him. I love it!!
