Meet director Rob Earwicker told IronMind®, "This is the first national Olympic weightlifting meet in the Bay Area since [Steve Gough's Fairfax Weightlifting Club hosted the] American Open in 1994. We have a lot of very talented young lifters here, like Donovan Ford, Kate Corbin, David Garcia, Keylin Mackey, Ian Wilson, Sae Vang, Chris Tiongson, Sydney Munsey and Jenny Lam . . . just to name a few.

"We are very confident that these lifters will be ones to watch for the future," so if you needed an excuse to combine a weekend in San Francisco with some very competitive weightlifting, go to the USAW Junior Nationals.
