Exactly a year ago we open our doors to our new expanded facility. It now included a kick ass 1000 square feet weightlifting room to complement our current facility and program. Our goal was to provide an area where people could lift when it was convenient to them outside of our regular CF program. I had ambitions to not only make our athletes stronger but, re-invest in the sport of Weightlifting and Powerlifting and produce some national calibre lifters. That’s exactly what happened. Here are some of the outstanding results that were produced by our Elite Weightlifting Club in its first year.
Weightlifting:
- 306 now holds 12 national and provincial records
- 2 athletes made national qualifying totals
Powerlifting:
- 9 athletes qualified for nationals
- 5 athletes took the podium at the national championships
- 2 athletes became Canadian Champions
- 1 athlete became a World Record Holder
All of this was of course only possible, not only with significant financial capital, but the incredible work and dedication of our coaches: Jeff Woo, Marc Morris, and Kent Brown.
Great work everyone and looking forward to another stellar year.
