Wisconsin Weightlifting

USAW LWC #20

New All-Time Performance

The PSAC Open meet was held on August 2nd, 2014. At that meet Power Sports Athletic Center lifter Mason Groehler went 115/146 261 at a bodyweight of 69.59k. This gave him a Sinclair ranking of 349.21. That is the highest Sinclair ranking ever done in the state of Wisconsin. He also broke the Total record in the 77k class, despite barely squeaking above 69.

Good stuff Mason, good stuff.
