Kiera’s Weightlifting Success!

Kiera in Year 11 competed in the British Age Group Championships at the John Charles Centre for sport in Leeds yesterday, winning the title of Under 17s British Champion for her weight category. 

She won a gold medal in her category. She managed a PB in Snatch and just missed a PB in her Clean and Jerk but attained a PB for her combined total weight lifted across the 2 disciplines. 

Kiera’s next competition will be an Open at Crystal Palace in December to help prepare her for the English Age Group Championships in February. 

In the meantime, Kiera will still be attending British Weightlifting’s Regional Squad sessions at Brunel University 6 times a year and training with her club 5 times a week. Her ambition is to meet the Commonwealth Pathway targets.

Congratulations Keira!
