Te Awamutu's Trainstation Fitness Solutions 10 person team competed at the GPC (Global Powerlifting Corporation) Auckland regionals last weekend.
It was staged over two days with novices on day one and experienced open lifters on day two.
The event was one of the biggest in history because of the cancellations of other events due to Covid-19 and was one of the only qualifiers for the nationals in October.
On day one, Team Trainstation had six novice lifters who all achieved great results:
First in squat, Alysha Hodgson; first in men's 3 lift, Bailey Oliedam; second in men's 3 lift, Ross McDougall; first in men's bench, Ivan Ranwell; second in women's 3 lift, Sinead Kingston-White; third in women's 3 lift, Amy Sparks.
