After a busy weekend of moving venues and changes of plans, Megan really pulled it out the bag for this comp regardless!!

Megan matched her clean and jerk PB with 85kg and a huge sn**ch of 68kg with a couple of attempts at some new masters records in the F40 71kg category! She fought for a bronze medal by 1kg!!

Well done Megan and thanks to and for hosting such a great competition and handling the events of the weekend so well!
