2022 Saratoga Barbell Club Team for New York State Championships
#518

10 Saratoga Barbell Club athletes competed in the New York State Championships this past weekend. For some it was their first, for some it was continuing their journey and for some it was their comeback. Coach Chad Syniec did an incredible job preparing the team to participate in the meet. As always his programming for each of you definitely hit the target. It was also great to see Chad out on the platform competing again! It certainly reminds us all that we can always improve our technique (if we could all lift like Coach). The team came home with a total of 11 medals! Be on the look out for their posts of their experiences and accomplishments! Congratulations to the Saratoga Barbell club Team all your hard work paid off! It was great seeing all our friends, teams and talent there is in New York State. Take some time to enjoy your accomplishments and get some rest. Coach Chad is already working on the next training program.

On behalf of the Saratoga Barbell Club, thank you so much to all the area athletes for participating in the 518 Summer Showdown on July 9th!

This was our first summer showdown since 2019, in our new home at the Lake George CrossFit. We are happy with how the competition layout worked in the gym space. Having a large women’s session of 17 lifters there was plenty of room and equipment in the warm-up area. The flow to the card table and competition platform allowed for coaches to keep a close eye on both athlete and competition. The spectator area had 50 seats that were full for nearly the entire event.

The athletes put on a very good display of Olympic weightlifting and showed that the 518 has a healthy and strong weighting community! The women’s session was the definition of consistency with a total of only 4 missed lifts in the entire sn**ch session. The men’s session was smaller in attendance but also displayed some solid weightlifting with newcomers to the platform as well as some up and coming area lifters.

Athletes might have noticed a photographer taking photos. We would like to thank Daniel Rahal Photography for some great competition photos. Link to photos here - https://adobe.ly/3cdSIHy

We received many positive comments from the staff, parents, and community members about the experience the competition was for everyone who attended, especially the new lifters. Our success was in no small part due to our sponsors and volunteers!

Our Volunteers took care of everything from weigh-ins, marshals, referees, bar loaders and virtually anything needed to make this meet run. I would like to extend my utmost gratitude to you for your support. (James, Haley, Miguel, Brett, Wayne, Karlee, Dan, Amy, Jane, Stashu)

Our sponsors, service providers and partners knocked it out of the park with onsite services, food, and financial contributions! We could not have had such a successful event without you!
