Nicole, in her first powerlifting meet, placed first in the Raw Classic 123 Open and Submaster divisions with a 175lb squat, a 110lb bench and a 275lb deadlift for a total of 560lb. All of her lifts were RPS New Jersey records for the Raw Classic 123 Submaster division, and her deadlift was a Raw Classic 123 Open New Jersey record and a Raw Classic 123 Submaster world record!
