At last month’s USS Pro Women’s Worlds in Louisville, Ky., Kennewick’s Lisa Kromer placed first in the Lightweight Master’s (under 148 pounds) and Open Middleweight 148-pound classes. She was 10th overall in the Open Middleweight division (under 165 pounds).

Her husband, Mike, was seventh in the World’s Strongest Man Masters (40-plus) competition in September in Leeds, England.

The Kromers, who both earned Professional Status from United States Strongman, are focused on their next project: putting on the Second Annual Winter Strength Pro-Am Strongman Contest on Dec. 10 at RAB Fitness in Kennewick. For more information, go to http://bit.ly/2fk3Dyp.
