The Northwest Association for Blind Athletes (NWABA) is pleased to announce that our regional Powerlifting team has returned from the WABDL World Powerlifting Championships held in Anaheim, California (Nov 15 – 20).

The whole weekend was packed full of activities. On Friday, it was dinner and Jazz music at the House of Blues in the Downtown Disney District, than it was Disneyland and California Adventures on Saturday. We did everything from rides that went 55mph hour to dinner at Red Rocket Pizza.

Finally, Sunday came, it started out with Billy Bench Press, and he did fairly well taking second in his category with a lift of 190lbs. Next up was Nick’s Bench, he took second as well with a lift of a 125lbs. Once Benching finished, then came the Deadlift session. That started once again with Billy’s Deadlift, which was 330lbs, that was 1st in his category. Following that was Nick Deadlifting Session; Nick had a lift of 270lbs, which was 3rd in his category. Last but not least was Jacob who broke a State, National, World & NWABA record with his lift of 199.0lbs.

NWABA would like to thank all the sponsors, volunteers & supporters that helped us attend this competition. This would not have happened with out all of your help. To see more stats and pictures, please visit us on web (listed below) , or contact a NWABA Board Member --- GO NIGHTMARE ---
