Congratulations Kathy!

A HUGE congratulations to Kathy for her amazing performance this past Saturday at the PWA's 2017 Max's Gym Open!  Kathy took the competition platform for the first time in two years and set meet PRs like a complete BOSS.  In the 53kg class she went 4 for 6 on her lifts, snatching 34kg and clean & jerking 44kg - this total qualified Kathy for the USAW Masters National Championships, IWF Masters Pan American Championships, and IWF Masters World Championships!!!   YES, YOU READ THAT CORRECTLY!

Big thanks to our seasoned team of coaches who helped Kathy on her awesome day of lifting: Coach Hillary and Coach Sarah who have competed in and coached athletes through so many weightlifting meets, from local level to national level; and Coach Liz who knows the demands of competition better than just about anyone else (and is usually the most prepared person in the room).

We couldn't be more proud of Kathy and her well deserved day on the platform - GREAT WORK, KATHY!
