The Guyana Amateur Powerlifting Federation (GAPLF) will host its last statutory competition for 2018, the Senior Nationals Championships on December 2 at St Stanislaus College.

As customary, the championship is the most anticipated event for the GAPLF’s calendar of activities.

The flagship fixture of the federation will see gladiators vying for the Best Male and Female Lifter titles and will try to secure qualifying Wilks Totals to be shortlisted for the national team for upcoming international 2019 duties.

According to a release, for the first time in Guyana’s history, two women in the 84+ kg category will be competing for the title of Best Female Lifter.

Runita White, the best female lifter for Intermediates National Championship 2018 and Natoya Robinson, the best female lifter for Raw Nationals 2018 will take the platform by storm to claim additional deserving accolades.

The competition is scheduled to begin promptly at 10 am. Participating athletes for Flight A are required to be at the venue for 8 am sharp for weigh-in.

Weigh in will go no later than 9.30 am for Flight A athletes, so persons are urged to be there on time. Athletes for flight B will be weighed in from 11.30 hrs. 

Tickets cost $1,000 and can be purchased directly from GAPLF Executive Members, or Buddy’s Gym. The entrance fee at the door is listed at $1,500.
