Claborn-StronmanPic-color

On January 28, 2012, Wesley Claborn set a new Georgia state Atlas Stone record for North American Strongman. Weighing just over 300 pounds, the 19-year-old Claborn is the first teenager to hold a Men’s Open record in the state of Georgia.

Claborn loaded a series of five Atlas Stones weighing 275 lbs., 290 lbs., 310 lbs., 335 lbs., and 390 lbs. to a 48 inch platform in 25.18 seconds. This broke the old record of 29.44 seconds set in 2007.

Wesley is the son of Charles and Carol (Atwell) Claborn, formerly of Albany.
