Welcome to the Nebraska AAU Website
This website is setup to give AAU powerlifters, parents, coaches, referees, and helpers information about the fun sport of powerlifting in Nebraska. The left column has the menu and the right column is static information and additional menus for the RECORDS page. The center section will have the dynamic information - meet info, results, records, and other information.

AAU Memberships:
The AAU is requiring that people get there membership before any competition. Please get your membership on-line as it may be difficult to get them at the meet. The insurance company needs the date of membership prior to the competition so you are covered. You can go here to renew for 1 to 3 years. The sport to register for is Powerlifting, the Club Name is Nebraska Powerlifting, and the Club Code is: NBPLT9BKB0
Remember - the registration is good from Sept 1 until August 31 of the following year.
Orchard and Cornhusker State Games: The Orchard Meet will be April 17 of 2010. Watch your diet during Christmas and don't forget to workout during this time. I look forward to this meet as Jeff and the community do a great job. Get your AAU membership before the meet!
The Cornhusker State Games will be June 25 this year instead of in July. The 2010 Special Olympics National Games are in Lincoln during July - so the CSG has moved their competitions to June! You should be getting some e-mails about the change in date beginning in January.
South Dakota AAU Meet: Jay Trenhaile ran a fun meet in Brookings SD with quite a few Nebraska lifters making it to the meet. The results are here. This was a good first AAU meet in South Dakota and we hope to help Jay with more meets.
Congratulations to the Nebraska Lifters at AAU Jr. Olympics. Dan Barton, Monte Lofing, and Randy Worden helped 20 lifters from Nebraska compete in the AAU Jr. Olympic Powerlifting competiton the first weekend in August. The Nebraska team (male and female, raw and equipped) came in 2nd to a team from Florida. Congratulations on the good lifting. The results are here.
The 2009 CSG Powerlifting meet results are here. Thanks to all the help - spotters, loaders, referees, table help and to Lincoln Christian School for the facility. We had the largest turnout ever for the CSG Powerlifting meet and it ran smoothly and the clean-up went exceptionally fast. Thanks to all for your help.
A special thanks to Bill DePorter (AAU National Chairman) for coming out and attending the meet, judging and answering many questions.
Bill called several months ago and said he was coming out to see the meet and make a presentation - I assumed it would be a five year award. Needless to say, I was humbled at the presentation of the Brother Bennet award. The award says "In Appreciation for dedication and service given to the sport of Powerlifting". It should be obvious to all that a meet such as CSG is not put on by one person. We have a good organization with many people who make it successful.
Don McElravy has headed up the development and recruiting of referees - which has resulted in good, consistent judging. Mac has been at most meets over the past 20 years sanctioned or not, judging, helping, setting up and cleaning up. He has helped me unload the equipment late after many meets and helped cleanup after most meets. His advice and encouragement are much appreciated. Jim Putz has worked to maintain the records on the website, Jeff Shabram has put on good meets in Orchard, Dave Mlnarik and Scott Ash (CSG) have provided help and encouragement, and Bill DePorter and Ivy Schuler with AAU have been available and most helpful in answering questions, helping with sanctions, rules questions, organizational questions, providing information and advice. We have many people who volunteer each year for meet help (judges, table help, spotters and loaders, people who help set-up and cleanup) and for lifters who train and participate in this sport. Lincoln Christian School and Matt Farup have been very helpful in providing the facility to hold these meets. I am most thankful for my family for not only allowing me this "hobby" but for supporting me and participating with me in it. This award reflects the great group of people in this organization. I am thankful to get to work with such great people in this sport.
