Interim Results 2021 Q State Senior Championships

What was to become known as Part A of the 2021 Q State Senior Championships at Cougars Weightlifting Club at Chandler pulled up early on Saturday 31^st July thanks to the intrusion of a snap COVID-19 lockdown in Brisbane. Part B will be conducted on Sunday 19^th September at the same venue.

The lifting we did get to see saw some great battles, numerous PB’s, and a number of records rewritten.

Yolande Weir (CWC) set the pace, breaking records in the very first session of the Championships. With Fred Buchanan (NBWA), Quyen Nguyen (CWC), and then Tori Gallegos (TWA) following this trend.
