GAPF shortlists 11 for 8th NAPF Caribbean Powerlifting C/ships
Two-time defending powerlifting champions Guyana is expected to be represented by an 11-member team at the 8th NAPF Caribbean Islands Powerlifting Championships, St Croix, US Virgin Islands from July 8 – 13.
According to a release from the federation, the final team is subject to change following scrutiny by the GAPF Executive.
Returning from last year’s team are Colin ‘Mr. Clean’ Chesney, Anis Ade-Thomas, Paul Adams, Karel Mars and Kimberley Mars-Lonke who is one of three females selected. While the other selectees are new to the Caribbean level of competition, the GAPF is expressing confidence that Guyana will retain the overall championship title as the best in the Caribbean. 
Athletes were selected based on their participation and performances at the Senior National Championships held in November last year. At last year’s championships, Guyana won 6 gold, 2 silver and 2 bronze medals.
