Now a graduate of Penn State University he will be traveling to Taiwan in September to lift against the best Junior lifters the world has to offer. Angelo in only his second year of competeing defeated a very deep class. He broke the American Bench record by over 15 pounds, benching 418 and only weighing 189.
Good Luck to Angelo!!!!
Angelo Poulich is Golden in
the 198
Angelo Poulich came away with gold medal as he defeated all 22 other lifters in his class. He benched an American/Collegiate National Record 418 lbs. at 189 lb body weight. All but one lifter on Penn States 8 person team placed in the top 5. Marlana Hamfeldt placed 2nd at the women's 97lb class. Sarah Barr at 148, placed 5th place in the most competitive women's class. Andy Halko placed 6th in one of the deepest 165 lb class in the last 5 years. Seth Abrams hung strong at 181 placing 4th, he easily benched 396 lbs, which was the highest in his weight class. Gleb Epelbaum placed 7th in the 198. There was some confusion with the weight class separated on two platforms, his third attempt deadlift, that came above the knees would have given him a third place finish, but ended up pushing him all the way to 7th. Erik Steiner with a pre-meet separated clavicle injury stepped up and placed third, missing second place on a body weight loss. All and all the Penn State Powerlifting team really turned some heads defeating the full Airforce contingent for the second place.Other schools represented at this contest Ball State, Baylor University, Blinn Jr. College, Butte College, Doane College, Georgia Southern University, Illinois College, Indiana University, Kansas State, Life University, Louisiana Tech University, LSU, Mount Union College, Nicholls State University, Oklahoma Baptist University, Rowan University, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, University of Louisiana, University of Pittsburgh, University of Rhode Island, University of Texas, University of Northern Colorado, University of North Texas, University of Wisconsin, US Airforce, US Military Academy and finally the US Naval Academy.
