The 2020 Physique Science QWA League and Masters League Round 2 saw members go from a chilly Toowoomba just a couple of weeks previously, to Milton where they turned up the heat!!
Numerous new personal bests were set by the competing athletes.
Our Masters lifters dominated with the number of records broken. Bobby Johnson (Southside Storm), Darrel Naude, Dion Walmsley, Jeff Davie, Tara Noonan (Cougars), Tim Redhead (Milton) and Minoru Yamasaki all set new records. Congratulations!!
Leo Lark of Milton Weightlifting Club coached by Mike Keelan gave the crowd a thrill with his National and State Senior record breaking attempt at 167kg in the Clean and Jerk competing in the 81kg category.
A BIG thank you to the Milton Weightlifting Club team on putting together such a great event.
Erika Yamasaki was on hand at the competition to coach her father in his first official competition. The QWA took this opportunity to present her with a QWA #strongertogether backpack in recognition of her place in the AWF Super Squad.
