GAPF shortlists 18-member team for 3 Int. Championships

Jan 26, 2013 Sports

– 3 reserves also named

With a view of maintaining and improving their rating on the Caribbean, regional and International scenes, the Guyana Amateur Powerlifting Federation (GAPF) has shortlisted an 18-member team to compete at three International Championships simultaneously from July 1– 7 in Orlando Florida, USA.
One of the other reasons for naming the team early is that the GAPF is aiming to successfully defend its Caribbean Men’s Team Title apart from challenging for North, Central and South American Countries in the Pan American segment of the championships.
According to the federation, they hope to take full advantage of the present good showing and form of Guyana’s athletes.
Also, those athletes not shortlisted will still have a chance to qualify if they turn in outstanding performances at the upcoming Novices and National Junior Championships set for New Amsterdam on March 10.
Those appearing as Guest Lifters at this event will also have the chance to make the Guyana Team. Female lifters who will compete at Novices will also be eligible for selection based on their performances.
The competitions the athletes are shortlisted for are: 14th Pan American Regional Championships; 11th North American Regional Championships and 7th Caribbean Championships.
