The Stevens Powerlifting Team hosted a mock meet in the varsity weight room on Saturday! We had thirteen lifters competing, with twelve being our more inexperienced lifters, and the other two being part of our more experienced crew of lifters, who unfortunately could not make it to the other meets to compete. For this mock meet, we wanted our lifters that lack meet experience to get that same feel, while at the same time being able to show off the work they put in this semester, so we allowed for more than three attempts on each lift to push themselves to go for personal records, only scoring their latest three attempts as their scoring total. Every single lifter in this meet hit at least one personal record, so this system was a success! While there was no placing due to this being a mock meet, we did get to see how their meet totals would compare to the totals needed to qualify for collegiate nationals. We had two totals over 50%, four totals over 60%, three totals over 70%, two totals over 80%, and one of our experienced members who went to collegiate nationals last semester, Abigail Izzo, had a total of over 308 kilograms in the women's 52kg weight class, which is over 131% of the total needed to qualify for nationals! The team had an amazing time hosting this mock meet, and we had plenty of team members who weren't competing show up to support the team and volunteer to spot and load for the meet. All our lifters: Tianna Spitz, Analisa Viterbo, Isabella Hamm, Jack Messina, Abigail Izzo, Dennis Losett, Matthew Pino, Owen Eriksson, Xiao Jin, Samuel Franco, Olajide Yusuf, Sameer Sethuram, and Ryan Tierney did a great job!
