Summer Slam 2026... what a day!💥

A huge THANK YOU to every athlete who stepped on the platform, every coach who guided and encouraged, and every club that made the trip to be part of this event. Your passion, sportsmanship, and support for one another are what make the weightlifting community special.

To our incredible volunteers… none of this happens without you. From refs, running cards to weigh-in, setup, cleanup, and everything in between, your time and hard work kept the meet running smoothly. Shout out to everyone who brought food & coffee to keep our volunteers fed and caffeinated. We appreciate each and every one of you. 🫶

Special thanks to LMNT for the cooler filled with all the hydration!
