RECORDS SHATTERED AT THE 2011 UPF
CHALLENGE!
Results from our annual summer contest – the UPF Challenge – can be accessed by clicking on the photo of Joseph
Townsend’s record breaking squat (below). Joseph captured Teenage Best Lifter honors at the meet, going nine for
nine in his R.A.W. United debut!

Thanks to the support of our members, R.A.W. United recently donated $240.00 to sponsor a lifter from Bill
Beekley’s Bulldog Power Team at Jackson Springs Recreation Center and additional proceeds to Wounded Warrior

IT’S A BOY!
