This review has to do with my interaction with director of the meet, Ryan Gleason, and my power lifting competition. My issue was for a particular meet on 1/13/2024. I placed 2nd and there were no medals to be handed out. Competitors were told there were issues with medals being ordered due to some war going on and lack of materials but they were going to be sent to each person by mail. I was patient and eventually contacted Ryan by email on 3/19/24 to which I was told he had issues with mailing medals due to them ripping out of the envelopes. He then asked if Im local to the gym. I responded that I was not local and hopeful to keep an eye out in the mail- I did not receive any response or medal after that.Some time passed, I contacted the National office for Powerlifting on 5/22/24, noting that I have not received my medal and they let me know they were going to reach out to Ryan and give me an update. I didnt hear anything from the national office and reached back out again for an update on 7/16/24. They told me he was to make contact with me back in May, however no emails on my end. Now on 7/29/24, the national office put all 3 of us in an email chain, and Ryan finally responded that he would send one out, and send tracking information when I responded with my address. I provided him with my information, however no tracking information was sent and again, no response from Ryan. I never got that medal.My interaction or lack there of, with Ryan was unacceptable as youre a meet director, and should hold himself to a higher standard. We all pay GOOD money to be part of a fun, and exciting day with friends, family and guests. If you say youre going to do something, then do it. Its a shame this was my experience, and I hope to shed light to anyone who thinks about signing up with him as this may be their experience as well.
