Today is the big day! Molly becomes our first nationally competitive weightlifter today by competing in the American Open. The American Open is one of USA Weightlifting's yearly national meets. Athletes qualify for these national meets by making the predetermined qualifying totals at a local USAW-sanctioned meet earlier in the year. Molly made the qualifying total for the American Open in a 5 for 6 performance at her FIRST MEET EVER in the Washington Open down at Thrush in October. It took a PR clean and jerk to do it, but she came through like a champion and earned herself a spot to compete among some of our country's best lifters. Molly has taken a break from her normal CrossFit training since then to train almost exclusively as a weightlifter to be her best for this big meet, and she's in great shape and ready to kill it down at Palm Springs today.

Word is there will be a live feed available for at least some of the meet. We will try to keep you posted on that but check the USAW site or the USAW Facebook page for more up to date information. Good luck Molly!
