Both Randolph Morgan, lifting in the 83.0kgs men’s open category and Kenneth Melville lifting in the 105kg Men’s Junior category, powered their way into the Caribbean Record books with a clean sweep of all four individual marks available namely the squat, bench press, dead lift and total (overall).
On the distaff side Dawn Barker lifting in the women’s 84+ kgs category claimed three of the four marks – squat, dead lift and total.
Listed below is the full table of Guyanese lifters with Caribbean records in the new weight classes.
Of special interest is the fact that as a consequence of having their old bodyweight within the new weight class record qualifying standard some of the lifters were able to hold on to records set in 2010.
No doubt the restructuring of the weight classes now favours the Guyanese lifters whom are amongst the lightest in their respective categories.
Caribbean records currently held by Guyanese lifters under the new qualifying marks set by the International Powerlifting Federation which became effective from January 5, 2011.
