High school provincials on 29th

27/05/2010
finally found results for other 3 regionals.
181 winners totaled 480, 430,412.5 and something negligible <350kg
198 winners were 452.5kg, 445kg, and 2 under 300kg
my total last time was 415kg
135/95/185
the 181 who totaled 480 tore his ACL a week ago, so heā€™s out.
that leaves a 430kg total i need to beat, provided he shows up.
he is going to a track meet the day before so iā€™m hoping heā€™s a bit off.

if i have a good day i can see making
140-142.5/100-102.5/192.5-200
giving me a total between 432.5kg and 445kg RAW
since no one else posts in here, good luck to me!
