"Strongman is the rising of the ordinary to the sublime."

The Glenrock Barbell Club is putting on their first annual Strongest Man (and Woman) competition during Deer Creek Days at the Town Park on June 25.

The club is holding the competition in honor of Noah "Sport" Young, Jr., a Glenrock resident who was internationally known for his feats of strength in the early 1900s.

With event names like "log clean press" and "truck axle deadlift," this is not your average weight-lifting competition.

The fourth event of the contest includes loading kegs over a 52" bar for as many reps as possible.
