Please contact either Bill Clayton or myself, if you have any questions regarding re-certification of your credentials.

A note of thanks and reviews from the Nationals:
Denison;
I also want to thank everyone involved in the success of the meet. It was an awesome weekend of lifting with Ed Coan as a major highlight. The room was packed and people were standing up cheering him on for each lift just like I remember it before..., read more

Tim Bruner:
ED COAN....without a doubt the strongest powerlifter of all time once again showed us all why!

This weekend in Las Vegas THE LEGEND, with a posse of some of the biggest names and guys in the sport of strength. Mark Philipe, Nick Best, Scooney, Capt. Kirk, to name a few! Keep in mind that he attended the Committe meeting the night before and then was present and lifting on a very long Saturday! Came in at 236 and went 931 on a 3rd squat and 518 retake (hurt shoulder) and a 810 retake...I must say the USPF officials were not being very nice on this day with some of the most tight judging I have seen in a long time. read more
