Today was an incredible day for our son, Tim, as he stepped onto the platform for the first time as a Junior competitor at the USA Junior Weightlifting Nationals in Colorado Springs.
He walked away the Champion in the 71kg Junior Men’s Division.
His results on the day:
Snatch: 98kg, 101kg, 104kg (attempted, but missed)
Clean & Jerk: 120kg, 124kg, 130kg (PR)
Total: 231kg (PR)
And the medals:
🥉 Bronze in Snatch (101kg)
🥈 Silver in Clean & Jerk (130kg)
🥇 Gold in Total (231kg) — making him the overall National Champion of his division.
To say we are elated is an understatement.
Tim has worked incredibly hard to reach this moment. In many ways, this has been years in the making—stretching back to his foundation in the sport he trained in before weightlifting, where discipline, perseverance, and grit were first forged.
To think that less than three years ago he made the transition into Olympic weightlifting, and today he stands as a USA National Champion, is nothing short of remarkable.
We are beyond proud of the young man, athlete, and competitor he has become. This is only the beginning.
