Northern California is home to the powerhouse Pacific Weightlifting Association, which has placed 17 different weightlifters on various Olympic teams, not to mention producing two Olympic weightlifting team coaches, so even when you go to a local meet in Northern California, you are surrounded by some very impressive credentials.

"We will be webcasting the event live and hope to promote the sport of Olympic weightlifting, as well as run a great meet," Rob Earwicker told IronMind®.

Incidentally, the team of Dave Corbin and Rob Earwicker will also be hosting the 2009 Junior Nationals, so start to plan ahead for that contest, too.
