The 2020 Qld U15 & Youth Championships in chilly Toowoomba was a fantastic success. Lifters, coaches, TO’s, volunteers, family and friends made the most of the opportunity to get back to a weightlifting competition. Even with the headache of keeping to our Covid Safe Plan it was well worth the effort when you saw the smiles on everyone’s faces.
In all there were 17 U13’s lifting in the Modified Session, and a further 60 in the Championships. The future of weightlifting in Queensland looks very bright.
There were numerous new PB’s set over the weekend. Full results can be found here: https://www.awf.com.au/statistics/competitions/results/id/2331
