**Competition Recap: Mayari Avendano**

This was Maya's fourth competition, and the results were outstanding!

She competed in a challenging group of very talented lifters, and she performed exceptionally well. Maya secured second place in her weight class and fifth overall in the group according to the Sinclair formula. She achieved three personal bests: a 56 kg sn**ch, an impressive 79 kg clean and jerk, and a new total!

Maya's dedication to improving her technical proficiency really showed today.

Let’s all show our love and support for Maya as we look forward to her next competition!

**Competition Recap: Megan Wray**

Meg delivered the performance we needed after recently experiencing a bit of a slump. She executed all 6 of her lifts with precision, showcasing some beautiful technique and impressively smashing her jerks.

Meg achieved a personal best in the clean and jerk, lifting 66 kg, and also set a total personal best of 119 kg.

We are incredibly pleased and proud of Meg for her accomplishments. Not only did she win her group, but she also took home a medal, a trophy, and an SBD kit!

**Competition Recap: Dovydas Vaitkus**

Today, Dovydas delivered another outstanding performance. We had a plan, and we executed it flawlessly!

Since his last competition, he has improved all of his numbers, achieving an incredible 21 kg increase in his total. This is a significant milestone! He set a new personal best in the sn**ch with a lift of 80 kg and narrowly missed another personal best in the clean and jerk at 110 kg. The clean was easy for him, but the jerk just wasn’t there today.

Dovydas secured second place in his weight class and placed third in the group based on the Sinclair formula.

A huge congratulations to him for what he has accomplished in his second competition! We are eagerly looking forward to seeing what he can achieve in the next one.

Comp recap: Mayari Avendano

This was Maya's third competition, and the results were outstanding!

We are very pleased with how this competition went. This time, the preparation was much better! Maya was more consistent with her training and nutrition, which allowed her to drop down a weight class as she had planned.

In terms of performance, Maya opened with a competition personal best of 49kg and ended just shy of her overall personal best of 52kg in the sn**ch. For the clean and jerk, she successfully completed all three attempts, achieving a new personal best of 75kg.

Maya finished second in her weight class 🥈, but since the competition was scored using the Sinclair formula, she placed seventh overall in her group.

Maya is very happy with her performance and is already looking forward to competing again later this year.

Stay tuned!🏋🏻‍♀️

Comp recap: Dovydas Vaitkus

This was Dovydas' first competition, and we are very pleased with his performance. Although he had a shaky start, he finished strong, achieving a 65kg sn**ch and matched his previous personal best with a 100kg clean and jerk. For his final attempt, we aimed for 105kg. The clean was very easy, but there was a slight press-out during the jerk. We know he will nail it next time!

He secured 1st place in his weight class, but since the competition was run according to the Sinclair formula, he placed 4th in the overall group

Dovydas thoroughly enjoyed the experience and is already looking forward to competing again later this year.

Stay tuned!
