This post may be a couple days late but no post will ever fully to be able to explain the amount of gratitude I have for this sport. While this sport brings me so much joy it never fails to test me. I started prep planning to cut down to 70kg but 2 weeks out I changed my mind. It is hard having to switch your mindset of cutting weight to you need to start eating more again. Then balancing being a full time college student 4 weeks before finals as well as having the biggest self doubts i’ve ever had. This prep was nothing but easy. However I never let that affect my determination to go big in this sport. I can’t wait to see what comes as I grow into this new weight class.

As always thank you to my amazing parents for never doubting me. My team @badgerpowerlifting for giving me this opportunity and @jessop.powerlifting for yet again having faith in me. The spotters and loaders and everyone at @usapowerlifting for keeping the athletes safe but also encouraging every lifter. Most importantly the God that gives me the strength and ability everyday to be able to compete in this sport.
