Photo Credit: Calista CorporationBethel Regional High School graduate, Natalie Hanson, is now the American powerlifting record holder in three of the sport’s biggest events. At 23-years old, Hanson set the official record for bench press, squat and total weight lifted for her age group and size. As of now, no one in the USA under 23-years old weighing under 75 kilos has ever officially lifted as much weight as she has.
“I’m in shock,” says Hanson about her record breaking performance, “it still doesn’t feel like that.”
Hanson broke the records at the Alaska State Championships for Power Lifting held in Anchorage, an event sanctioned by the USA powerlifting.
Hanson set the records in the Junior Division for ages 20 – 23.
