Golden Triangle Open was held May 4th at the Cambridge Holiday Inn. Our first three lift open in many years was sparsely attended and in spite of three lifters not showing for the weigh in we had both Ontario and Canadian records broken. Laurie Greenidge broke an M3 squat record and Pedro Tondo broke an Ontario M1 squat record. Laurie broke both the Ontario and Canadian mark. Five of the lifters were novice and Lionel Taylor was back after about a ten year hiatus. It was a great pleasure to award the team trophy to Nadine and Jean from Ferns Gym in New Liskeard. Fern has been a long time supporter of the OPA and registers his club every year. Also traveling a long way were Lionel Taylor and Donald Chabot who came from Geraldton and Longlac respectively. The timing of the meet due to the Canadian National Powerlifting Championships wasn't the best but this was a dual meet with the Special Athletes "Friends of Steel Meet" which is an annual meet. Some commented that we will draw much better in 2009. Thanks to Kitchener Scale for providing the scale free to use for both meets. Chris has been an exceptional sponsor for many years. Thanks to all who came out in support of the athletes. The referees Mike Knott, Don Clarke and Steve Chomitz, the score table volunteers Jane Lessard and Karen Allison and the platform people Les Kiss, Jody Roemer, John Bourgoin, John Clayton, Ryan Watchorn, Robert Hoffman, Brandon Ward and Chris Viana.
