Ed Coan: Drawing a Bead on the Mountaineer Cup III . . .

by Randall J. Strossen, IronMind Enterprises, Inc. © 2001

Ed Coan's on track for a huge total at this year's Mountaineer Cup, so if you want to see someone squat over half a ton, put this meet on your calendar.

And if you need even more motivation to be there for this year's Mountaineer Cup, Gary Frank has reportedly said he will also lift at this meet.  Nick Busick's Mountaineer Cup III will be run in conjunction with the USPF Nationals, and is scheduled for June 22 - 24, at the Mountaineer Rack Track and Gaming Resort in Chester, West Virginia.
