Weightlifter Kendrick Farris set two U.S. records in the men's 85-kilogram division, putting him in contention for a medal ahead of Friday's final session.Farris hoisted a total of 362 kg (798.1 pounds) to set a national record and finish first in the morning session, although the higher-ranked lifters in the weight category were not competing until later Friday.
"I think that total is going to hold up," said the 22-year-old from Shreveport, La. "I'm not even coming to watch the next session, I'm just waiting for someone to call me."
