Bucharest Romania.
Jared Fleming lifted in the JR world Weightlifting championships this weekend.
He placed 17th at age 17 in the 187lb weightclass. Weighing 183 lbs he snatched 306lbs and clean & jerked 357lbs. Both lifts were 9 lb PRs He only missed his last c&j attempt which would have been his first double bodyweight c&j (368lbs).
Congrats to Jared. A 306 snatch for a 17 year old, 183 junior is remarkable for that most difficult of lifts. Most kids his age couldn't do a deep squat with 306 let alone snatch it!
