3-6-10 NASA INDIANA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS
By Big Willie J.T. Hall

3-6-10  NASA INDIANA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP

http://www.nasa-sports.com/Results/Results Indiana.htm

The Chrysler UAW Hall, in Kokomo Indiana, played host to the largest Indiana State Powerlifting Meet in more than 10 years.  Lifters from Indiana, Ilinois, Colorado, and Wisconsin comprised 49 Entries that competed before an audience of well over 100 spectators.  The Event consisted of 15% Lady Lifters, including 2 gals in their 70\'s.

Dozens and dozens of State Records were broken, and many American Records as well.  Teen Lifters Britteny Cornelius and Drew Pullen really put on remarkable performances, and both have tremendous potential.

Team Illinois narrowly defeated Team Indiana in a 6 versus 6 Push-Pull matchup.  Team Indiana had 2 bombouts, but their other 4 Lifters lifted so well, had Eric Branstetter not bombed, they would have won despite having 1 team member bomb.

NASA Referees Larry Donahue and Jim Tabbert judged every flight of the day, with John Palumbo judging 6 flights of lifting.  Palumbo has been a constant promoter of Powerlifting in Indiana, and later that evening he was named Indiana Lifter of the Decade for the years 2000 through 2009.  Kokomo Lifter Tim Meney took a break from lifting at this year\'s State Meet, to spot-n-load for every flight of the day.  A huge thanks to all of the aforementioned Meet Staff, as well as Ms. Savage for announcing all day, and Barry Donovan for being her constant scorekeeper for the duration of the Event.

Finally, we are grateful to Monte Babb and the Chrysler UAW for providing a Fantastic Venue, and to the Great People of Kokomo, for being such an enthusiastic audience. NASA Meet Director: Job Hou-Seye

Time to step outside the box again.
By Big Willie J.T. Hall

I plan to compete in my first Highland Games Event in Sept. Looking forward to the challenge and should make a great blog too!

LIST OF EVENTS

http://www.kyhighlandgames.com/index.php

       

CABER TOSS

This event is a highland games tradition! Contestants will toss a 100-120 pound pole that is 18-19 feet long. The goal is to get the caber to flip end over end, with the narrow end pointing towards the contestant, with the caber stopping in-line with the contestant. Distance is not a factor in this event.

 

STONE TOSS

Putting the Stone (or Clachneart in Gaelic) is a test of strength and coordination. This event is similar to the modern day shot put. Contestants toss a ball weighing 16 pounds for distance. Each contestant gets 3 tries, the longest toss being recorded.

 

WEIGHT TOSS

A 56 pound weight is swung between the legs, and tossed over a bar using only 1 hand. Contestants are eliminated upon 3 misses or touches at the same height. The highest toss wins, and ties are settled by fewest misses at previous lower heights.

 

SHEAF TOSS

A sheet of hay (14-25 pounds) is tossed by pitchfork over a crossbar suspended by ropes. Three throws are allowed at each height. The bar is raised 6-inches at a time. Failure to successfully toss the sheaf over the bar at least 1 time at any successive height eliminates the contestant.

 

WEIGHT TOSS FOR DISTANCE

A weight (28 - 56 pounts) are thrown for distance. Three consecutive throws are allowed, but only the longest counts. If any part of the body passes the tow board, a foul is declared and the throw is nullified.

 

HAMMER THROW

This is a test of skill and strength. A 4 ft 22 inch long hammer weighing 16 - 22 pounds is thrown for distance. Three throws are allowed, but only the longest counts. Like in the weight throw for distance, if any part of the body passes the tow bar, the throw is nullified and a foul is called.
