Sam Hansen hits another Personal Best in the 41 Degrees Weightlifting Competition in Wellington!
Mana Media — May 21, 2017
The Weightlifting Club aims to encourage both members and non members of MaD CrossFit to participate in and contribute to Olympic Weightlifting and Powerlifting in New Zealand.
Sam's goal for this event was to qualify for Nationals in the Senior Under 69kg division. She has already qualified for Under 63kg division, however starting under that weight is not ideal for Sam. She needed to hit a total of 140kg with both lifts.
She completed her Snatches with ease, equaling her best ever snatch at 68kg.
In the Clean and Jerk Sam went 6 for 6 lifts and hit a personal best Clean and Jerk (87kg) for a total of 155kg! This is a massive 15kg over the qualifying total!
Sam has now qualified for NZ National Weightlifting Championship at both under 69kg Junior and Senior Divisions.

Congratulations, Sam!
