Team Wins Championships Title (11/17/09)
Congratulations to the Team for defending the Mens' Championship Title for the 3rd year in a row. This may have possibly been one of the best overall performances from our team ever! We had 3 athletes make 6 for 6 successful lifts, 5 p.r.s, and 3 Best Lifter Awards. In the end, Altamonte Men won the 1st Place team award and our Girls won the 2nd Place team award by a slim margin (1 point). To make our day a little better we won over our friendly rival from Jacksonville, Accel Sports. They still lead by one win over us...our record against them is 1-2. This ATC win marks the end for 2009. The next opportunity will be Sunshine State Games in 2010 where the 3-meet series starts again (Sunsines State Games, Joe Dube Classic, and State Championships). Great job everyone. |
