2024 Grand Masters U45 (Under 45)

 

Beginning this year, WCHM initiated a Grand Masters Award to athletes who are in the age categories up to and including Age Category 40-44. The current SMF and SHMF, though representing a needed improvement from the Sinclair Formula and eventually with an upgrade to include Women athletes, still makes it exceedingly difficult for athletes in these categories to acquire formulated totals needed to win a Grand Masters Award. The Grand Masters U45 was created to address this shortcoming in our current ranking formulae for Masters.

 

The two recipients of the 2024 U45 Grand Masters' awards were James Johnson of 646 Weightlifting Club in Toronto, Ontario, and Michelle Page of Battlefield Strength in Hamilton, Ontario.

 

Michelle and James received their Awards after competing at the 2024 Canadian Masters Weightlifting Championships in Rouyn-Noranda in July. Here is Michelle displaying WCHM’s first Womens U45 Grand Master Award.

 

Congratulations are extended to Michelle Page and James Johnson, their coaches and sponsor Cégep Abitibi Témiscamingue and Club Halterophilie Hercales de Rouyn Noranda.
