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.
