Everyone that was in Roanoke on November 2nd had the privilege to witness some incredible lifting by Amy. As I was updating the NC state records, the magnitude of her lifting struck. It was then that I realized that this powerlifter of less than 2 years experience is already one of the top lifters of All-Time! I confirmed this with powerlifting statistician Michael Soong.
Amy's lifts of 490-275-450-1215 rank her #10 on the squat, #26 on the bench, #29 on the deadlift, and #7 on the total on the ALL-TIME 148lb women's rankings.
These are ALL TIME WORLD rankings among all federations. Among US lifters, she is ranked 4, 11, 13, and 3.
Congratulations Amy! We look forward to your climbing even higher.
