MONDAY 100215

69kg female winner Kim Straughan (on steps), Dalas Santavy (in hat), Larry Robinson (in front).

Kim won her weight class (69kg) with an 87kg total. She breezed through her snatch attempts going 3 for 3. She opened with 35kg, then second and third attempts were 37kg and 40kg. We watched the rest of the girls lift, then warmed-up for the clean & jerk. Kim opened with an easy 45kg, then second attempt was 47kg and then a disqualified clean of 50kg was her third; her elbows and knees touched. I spoke with judge Larry Yessie after the competition, who said it is an old and somewhat unnecessary rule, but is a rule nonetheless. He was very sympathetic to Kim and even explained some good training strategies to prepare for her next competition. Kim was accompanied by her husband and "therapist" and myself, her coach. We had a great first meet experience and look forward to the Ontario Open in November where we will hopefully send a larger female team and perhaps a few male lifters.
