New England WSO Update: November 16th
We have a great end to the year!
December 16th, we have the New England Elite athlete camp at Westerly Barbell Club. We have invited the top 12 male and female athletes by NRS percentage to participate in an elite athlete camp to build community and learn from each other. This camp will take place from 10:00am to 5:00pm.
That night, we will transition to The Haversham House in Westerly, Rhode Island for the Hall of Fame banquet. Gary Valentine will be publicly inducted into the New England Weightlifting Hall of Fame. We will also give out our yearly awards in the following categories:
Youth Female Athlete of the Year

Nomination forms will come to your inbox from USA Weightlifting on November 22nd. After the nomination period is complete, each member of the WSO will receive a ballot in their email from Election Buddy. Voting will take place from November 28th through December 1st. We will publicly announce the winners at the banquet as well as through social media the days following the event.
On December 17th, we go back to Westerly Barbell for the Westerly Barbell Christmas Open. This competition is sold out, and it is the last competition of the year for New England Weightlifting.
I hope you guys have a Happy Thanksgiving and a great holiday season.
