Schaumburg, Illinois - Continuing his record-breaking streak, Kendrick Farris cleaned and jerked 200 kg last night at the USA Weightlifting National Championships, for a new American record in the 85-kg category.

After snatching 155 kg, Farris opened with 190 in the clean and jerk. He missed the jerk, came back to make the 190 on his second attempt and then called for 200, in a bid to break his own American record. Farris jerks with an unorthodox style, but it works for him - he made the lift and looks good for more.
