I can honestly say that our judges in Louisiana are very committed to the sport (as evidenced by the huge number of meets that you all judge for everyone, year-in-year-out); most of the veteran group is now nationally or internationally certified; and you all have no problem calling it like you see it. Many of our lifters who compete at the local and state level do quite well after making the jump to national and international competition. Thanks for all that you all do! Paul |
