“Come watch and cheer on the future stars of Olympic weightlifting,” Rob Earwicker said, as the 2010 USA Weightlifting (USAW) School-Age National Championships draw near.

Starting on Friday morning, this two-platform meet will feature the top younger weightlifters in the United States, with competitors coming from around the country.

The 2010 USAW School-Age National Championships are being held at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Foster City, California, and Jim Schmitz posted a summary of the contest on the IronMind® Forum: “. . . 9:30am to 8+pm Friday and Saturday and 10am to 7+pm on Sunday.”

Jim Schmitz also noted, “16-year-old Ian Wilson from Berkeley, CA will be lifting Sunday around 12:30, Ian at a body weight of just under 100 [kg] has done 138 [kg] and 170 [kg], so he should be doing some very impressive lifting.”
