These athletes secured their spots at this year’s world championships after traveling to Birmingham, Ala. and competing in the US Para Powerlifting National Team Qualifier on May 31 hosted by Lakeshore Foundation. For the qualifier competition, athletes were divided into two groups of six, with each athlete having one lift attempt in three different rounds. The competition pool was comprised of athletes with a vast array of experience, including two Paralympians.
“This past weekend, US Para Powerlifting started its road to LA28,” said Coach and High Performance Manager Mary C. Hodge. “Twelve athletes qualified and, while some of the athletes are seasoned athletes from the last quad, four are new to the international pathway. I am excited and filled with anticipation for what the future holds for them on the international stage.”
In December 2024, Lakeshore Foundation’s Lakeshore National Adapted Sports Organization was named the new national governing body of US Para Powerlifting. This marks the first competition for US Para Powerlifting since that announcement.
