With a recorded one-rep max of 215 lbs., Brooke Wells was in position to threaten Kara Webb’s Event 1 record from the first weekend of Regionals. Although she ultimately did not manage to best Webb’s record, which is still locked in place, Wells managed to finish with an impressive time of 6:20.
"Once I get out there, it's so much fun. The crowd's just yelling; I really just take that all in," Wells said after the event.
She kicked off 2015's Central Regionals by winning Randy, so it was only natural that she followed up that performance with another Event 1 win this year, too. Stacie Tovar arrived second with a time of 7:40—almost a minute and a half after Wells. Games veteran Elisabeth Akinwale finished sixth in 9:13, and Julie Foucher got 16th with nine reps left on the floor.
