That’s a wrap for this years Canadian Junior Weightlifting Championships! Sydney started the day and did great, finishing 5th in a very competitive 76kg division. Emma finished the day in the final session, winning gold in the >87kg lifting what would be junior and senior provincial records.... Big thanks to all the volunteers and @cwfhc for organizing this event to keep kids training and competing during the pandemic!

You can’t tell because of the masks, but it was all smiles from the two youngest members of Team Alberta today at their first Junior Canadian Weightlifting Championships. At 14 years of age both Audrey and Lincoln won gold in their weight classes and lifted what would be provincial youth and junior records! Hope to be able to track down some videos. Unfortunately, camera was used for the online zoom session, and it was all hands on deck to manage @cwfhc first online competit...ion! #nationalchamps #farmstrong #futurechamps #weightlifting #olympicweightlifting #teamalberta @albertaweightlifting

Too bad this guy wasn’t competing today! What a lift! 95kg snatch Pr from 16yr old Aiden. Aiden plays midget AAA hockey with @cac_hockey and trains with us in and out of season so he can dominate the blue line. If you want to be the most explosive skater on the ice next season, come train with us this summer, or share with a player you think could use our help.... #farmstrong #futurechamps

Farm Strong has 4 athletes representing Team Alberta:... Saturday 8am mst: Audrey Hillman 49kg 11:30am: Lincoln Taylor 55kg Sunday 3:30pm Sydney Gallagher 76kg 5:00pm Emma Friesen >87kg Contest can be watched on @cwfhc Facebook page.

Kalin wrapped up his junior eligibility with the Pan-American Junior Championships. Training wasn’t optimal leading into this event due to the pandemic, so he will just have to get that 300kg total as a senior now! @kalin.melnyk #farmstrong #weightlifting

Gina had a great performance at the Pan-American Junior Championships. Was a jerk away from a bronze medal in the clean and jerk. She finished tied for 5th and lifted new prs in both lifts, which would be provincial records. Great work @gina.m #farmstrong #weightlifting

Awesome performance by Emma in the Pan-American Junior Championships! She received a bronze medal in the snatch portion of the event, and just missed out on the bronze in the total, 4th overall in her first international competition.

Gina’s gold medal lifts from the junior Canadian national championships. 80kg snatch and 95kg clean and jerk. #farmstrong #futurechamps #weightlifting #olympicweightlifting #edmonton #yeg

Couldn’t be more proud. Farmstrong was founded by national champions with a goal to develop systems to create our own national champions. Yesterday was our 5 year anniversary of opening our club in St Albert, and we got to celebrate via the accomplishments of our athletes. Gina McMonagle became our first female national champion in the 76kg division, Emma Friesen fought some tough competition finishing second in the >81kg division, and Kalin Melnyk became our first male nati...onal champion in the 96kg division. These 3 have worked incredibly hard over the past few years, and it’s great to see the pay off! #farmstrong #futurechamps #weightlifting #alberta #awa #olympicweightlifting #edmonton #stalbert
