Teenage sensation Vijay Rahim of Berbice who has taken the stage by storm ever since entering the sport just over one year ago has also been included as well as another junior standout Anis Ade Thomas, who became the first junior lifter to dead lift over 600 pounds at the junior championships.
The lone Essequibian shortlisted is the multi-talented Mark Seymour who has also been improving by leaps and bounds since coming into the sport just over a year ago.
The 4th IPF/NAPF Caribbean Power Lifting Championships is set for Georgetown, Guyana March 18 – 20, 2010.
