Five of us drove down to Savannah, GA for the Matt Davis Memorial Weightlifting meet. Everyone lifted well, all five either made a personal best or attempted a personal best. Liz and Cherie lifted in the first group consisting of all the women. Cherie started things off for Team Chattanooga. She missed her first snatch at 40kg but made it on the second attempt, she attempted a new personal best of 48kg but missed it standing up. Cherie lifted 63 in the Clean and Jerk. Liz lifted next, going 3/3 in the snatch and setting a new personal best on her third attempt with a lift on 57kg. She opened with 63kg on the Clean and Jerk with ease and took 67kg, her personal best, on her second. She narrowly missed 67kg, called for pressing she took 67kg again on her third and nailed it.
