If ANY PWL team was affected by the weather in any way at all, please do not hesitate to reach out to THSPA and let us know how we can help. Gear, rides, entry fee, extra coaches, meal money, WHATEVER! We are all family and we will all pitch in and help ANY WAY that we can.
This is MOTIVATIONAL! Way to go Cason! You have determination and drive! That cannot be coached - you have absolute HEART! Congrats on a fantastic season!
In his final meet of the season, Cason hit 105lbs on squat which is a 15lb PR!! I hope Cason continues to inspire everyone because he inspires & challenges me every day!
Season Bests:
Squat 105
Bench 260
Deadlift 190
