Who maintains state records?

• A. State chair or records keeper
• B. The national governing body
• C. Local gym manager
• D. International federation

Answer: (A)

Maintaining state records is handled by the state chair or a designated records keeper. This official is responsible for reviewing results from sanctioned meets within the state, ensuring each record attempt follows all rules (proper commands, lifts completed, weigh-in status, etc.), and updating the official state records list. They coordinate with meet directors to record new marks and ensure records reflect current eligibility criteria such as age and weight class. The national governing body handles national records, the local gym manager oversees facility stuff rather than official records, and the international federation tracks world records, not state ones.
