Saturday Tim competed at his home gyms Spring Open Weightlifting Meet. He had a great time. He made Meet PR's of 74kg in Snatch and 90kg in Clean & Jerk. Huge gains were made for him. He did a 14kg jump from his last Meet in the Snatch and he did a 15kg jump the in C & J. He's not even been in the sport a year yet and he's doing so well in it. It was like he was born for this sport. He was the top male youth athlete at the Meet. He brought home a gold medal but more importantly he moved back up in rankings. After his last Meet in January he was ranked #5. Between that Meet and this Meet he dropped to #11 but after this meet he came right back up to #5 again. He was very pleased about being able to regain his ranking. He really enjoys the supportive atmosphere of this sport. They all love seeing one another make gains and they all feel for one another when they don't make the lifts they are going for. They are so encouraging of one another and lift one another up constantly. They help each other fix mistakes when they can. It's an amazing sport. Tim has an amazing coach too. Coach Jarrod is excited for all that Tim has been accomplishing in this sport. He's also quite surprised in how far he's come so fast. Being the elite athlete he's been for most of his life it's normal for him to work crazy hard for what he wants to accomplish. His work ethic for a 15 year astounds most people but that's just Tim. It's who he is. It's in his DNA to really go for what he wants to accomplish. His dad and I couldn't be more proud of all that he's accomplished since making the switch to this sport.
