I got my first attempt on squat with 245 and scratched on my other two. On bench I got 150 and then disqualified for what they call dumping the bar (intentionally dropping the bar) on my last deadlift of 300. It was a very questionable call that many of the coaches and parents strongly disagreed with. Its ok though, I will be working hard for next year. :cheesy:

GOOD LUCK at state Blake, Mikey, and Josh! :woot:
