    Thank you for a great article! Chase is my son and I am so proud of him! This is actually his THIRD trip to the State Competition. He qualified as a Sophomore and went to the finals in Port Richey, FL; then he placed 5th last year in Kissimmee, FL. We are looking forward to another trip this week as he lifts and hopes to win the 1st place title. Good luck and best wishes to all the qualifiers throughout the state of FL!!!
