I am pleased to announce that the inaugural Women of Steel Summer Showdown (USA Powerlifting sanction: MN-2016-05) will occur on July 16 at American Strength in Maplewood. This meet is only open to women and will be capped at 40 lifters. Ray Law will direct this exciting new event. I would like to thank Ken Graack for his hospitality in letting us once again use American Strength as the venue for a USA Powerlifting event. Ken and his staff always go above and beyond as event hosts. The entry form for this event will be released here in mid-April. The Facebook event page can be found here.
