Text Box: Hannah Means Memorial Collegiate National Qualifier   On Saturday, February 17th the University of La Crosse will play host to an Olympic Weightlifting competition. The Hannah Means Memorial Collegiate Meet will be held in the Mitchell Hall field house at 1725 State Street, with the first competitor starting at 10am. The event is sponsored by the Weightlifting, Powerlifting, Bodybuilding Club (WPBC) and the UW-L Strength and Conditioning Concentration. This is an open meet to all athletes registered with USA Weightlifting; registration can be completed at day of the meet. All workers will be volunteers and all proceeds will go to the suicide hotline.   Hannah Means was a talented weightlifter from Northfield MN, who committed suicide in 2005. Meet director and fiend of Hannah, Cori Safe, have begun this meet as a memorial to Hannah, as well as a fundraiser for the Suicide Hotline. The hotline is under funded and is in constant need of financial support. There is no admission fee to the meet, but donations will be accepted at the door.   Weightlifting is a sport where competitors attempt to lift heavy weights mounted on steel bars, the execution of which is a combination of power and technique. The two lifts will be the Snatch and the Clean and Jerk, with all rules of the International Weightlifting Federation in effect. Weigh in start at eight am and competition to follow at ten. Entry forms are $15 and can be downloaded at the WPBC web site, and must be postmarked by February 7th.   For more information contact Cori Safe, Meet Director at 651-380-8798 or email the WPBC at wpbc@uwlax.edu.
