Craig has had a great training cycle and should hit some big weights.  Lastly is USAW number one ranked female weightlifter Sarah Robles.  Sarah has one titles at every event except the Collegiate Nationals.  She is in good shape and should push to break the Collegiate American Record in the Clean & Jerk.  This event will springboard all three athletes into the Senior National Championships in July in Iowa.  This event will be UStreamed live over the internet.  We will post video to our facebook account.  For more information go to www.facebook.com/performanceone
