A couple of our members traveled to Baton Rouge on June 22nd for the Greater Baton Rouge District Senior Olympic Games. Robert Bienvenu turned in the following results, Bench Press 200#s, Squat 220#s and Deadlift 321#s. These results were good enough to give Robert 3 – 2nd place medals.
You might ask, what happened to all of his 1st place awards? Well, it looks like the "Big Boy" showed up in Baton Rouge and stole all of the 1st place spots. Congratulations to Vince Breaux who also happens to be a Red's member and seems as if he is "the Man to beat". Vince easily won 1st in the Bench, Squat & Deadlift.
But, Vince did leave room for Robert to take home one 1st place medal in the Clean & Jerk with a lift of 111#s. Robert also recorded a Snatch of 75#s.
Congratulations to Robert who was simply warming up for the AAU World Championship meet coming up in October in Vegas. I am still waiting for results and pictures of Vince with all of his new medals, trophies and records. Congrats to you both.
