thats exactly what i was thinking, richie is barely out of the junior class and already threatening all time records. on top of that richie seems like a really cool guy. if you check out his website, he gives a lot of information and doesnt seem to be trying to keep any secrets.

congrats richie, huge lift!

It was awesome watching Richie. Started the meet off on a good note. Bench Only's going and seeing him nailing 859 set the mood for the rest of the meet.
