In four of the five divisions competing on the second day of the USA Weightlifting National Championships the top score doesn’t appear to be high enough to stand through the competitors in Sunday’s Olympic Trials. The women’s 63kg division just might be the exception. Cecily Basques posted an 86kg snatch and a 112kg clean and jerk for a total of 198kg. That’s one shy of Mary Peck‘s 199kg total that got her into the Olympic Trials on Sunday and high enough that she may have a chance to win it. Basques score would have been even better had she completed the 115kg or 118kg clean and jerk attempts she missed to end her competition.

In the women’s 69kg division Danielle Hudes is the clubhouse leader after posting a 206kg total while Tanner Reichardt leads the men’s 77kg division with a 295kg total. John Downey leads the men’s 85kg division with a 306kg total and Phil Sabatini leads the men’s 94kg division with a 335kg total.

Things wrap up on Sunday with the men’s 105kg and +105kg divisions as well as the women’s 75kg and +75kg divisions. Then of course the Olympic trials for both the men and the women.
