Wow!! what a Finn
Gary Panttila at the Powerlifting State Championships in Tombstone, AZ came in first in the 242lb class. This was his 10th straight state championship in 5 years. He now has the state record in each weight class (181, 198, 220, and 242). He will be competing in December 2009 for the World Championship with the USA Powerlifting Team in Las Vegas. He is the only lifter going from AZ. He wishes to share his appreciation to the Northwest YMCA for allowing him to use the facility for training and to the members (Shannon St) who give him support on a daily basis. He also dedicated this last win to his mother Shelley, who celebrated her 54th birthday the day of the state meet. And to his workout partner Danni
Eldridge who is one of the greatest female powerlifters
ever. Strong words, Gary.
“Kiitoksia kaikille, jotka auttoivat ja kannustivat, minua
treenin aikana ja kilpailuissa!”
