Meanwhile, Jennifer Ferguson of Prince George (no relation to Linda Ferguson) had a weekend to remember.

“I squatted 352 lbs, I benched 187 lbs, and I dead-lifted 414 lbs I believe,” said Jennifer, who set three national records.

“[The records were] the squat, the dead-lift, and then I got a total for a national record so I am happy with that.”
