Hey, everybody!  I recently set out to work on one of my biggest weaknesses as a competitive fitness athlete, the Olympic lifts.  I hired a coach (Cait Finn, who is the bomb) and started training with the seemingly unrealistic goal of qualifying for the American Open.  After a few months with Coach Cait, we managed to not only qualify for the American Open, but for the USAW National Championship in Dallas, Texas!  Truly, an unexpected honor.  With the meet LESS THAN TWO MONTHS AWAY, the biggest obstacle at this point is raising the funds to get down there.  SO, after all is said and done, I have the trip costing around $1,500 (flight, hotel, food, registration, etc.).  That's a ton of cash, but any help I could get from the community would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you so much for your consideration and I'll be sure to lift a TON of weight!!!  Metaphorically.
