Ron Shotts, a powerlifter from Springfield, shined at the 37th annual Natural Athlete Strength Association national meet in Oklahoma City, Okla., in February.<\/p>\n

Shotts, 48, won the NASA Powerlifting Masters 1 Athlete Of The Year award. He set new Ohio state records and placed first in his division for the squat (365 pounds), bench press (309), deadlift (455) and total weight in a single meet (1,129).<\/p>\n

\u201cCompeting in the NASA Nationals was one of the greatest moments of my life!\u201d Shotts said. \u201cI met so many amazing athletes. I also enjoyed the view driving through the Ozark Mountains. The entire experience I will cherish for the rest of my life!\u201d<\/p>\n

Shotts, a 1995 Kenton Ridge graduate and a 1999 graduate of Sinclair Community College, started lifting as a kid and returned to competition<\/a> in 2025.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
