Our names are Troy Nguyen & Benjamin Clarke. We are both seniors at Oak Creek High School. We are competitive powerlifters who compete and train year-round. Both of us are state and national champions in our respective weight classes and have dreamt about competing at the international level. We have been extremely dedicated to this sport for the past 4 years, leading to us creating our own coaching business Aspire Strength Systems, in which we've provided free coaching to 15+ athletes regardless of their experience level.

Recently, we competed at Bench Press Nationals, where Troy took 1st place and Ben took 2nd place, allowing us to qualify for the Team USA National Team. We will compete at the Bench Press World Championships in Drammen, Norway. The costs for international travel are extremely expensive. We are extremely hardworking students with 4.5+ GPAs this past semester and plan to attend the University of Wisconsin-Madison after our graduation.

We wanted to make this post asking for donations toward our trips to the Bench Press World Championships. In this competition, Troy will be competing in the 74kg weight class, while Ben will compete in the 59kg weight class. We would greatly appreciate it if you could donate any money to support our trip and make our dreams come true. We truly appreciate your time for reading this and would be grateful if you could share this link with others.
