Team training was run at North Brisbane Weightlifting Association (thank you NBWA), 2 weeks before the competition. Thank you to those athletes and coaches in particular that had to travel significant distances for the team training. Thank you to the 5 staff who attended -Isabel, Jemma, Greg, Christian & Scott.
At the event the Queensland team did an amazing job, and you could see how proud they were of themselves. Although some struggled with the anxiety of being on the platform, they overcame their nerves and lifted with full conviction. All in all an amazing job winning 3 out of 4 trophies!!
Congratulations to all our team members on the huge number of personal bests achieved at this event. Full results can be found here: https://www.awf.com.au/competition/statistics/competitions/results/id/3150
