Rose Performance

The 2026 USA Weightlifting National Championships was a mixed bag of results for the HWC.

Some had their best competitions ever, and some had their most trying competitions ever.

Each athlete fought hard and gave it everything they had.

Congratulations to our first-timers Jack, Willa, and Frankie who each fought off some nerves and went 4/6 in their first Nationals.

Congratulations to Coach Kat on overcoming a disappointing Sn**ch session, unable to secure a total, but showing great character and determination while coming back to attack some big Clean & Jerks.

Congratulations to Youth athletes Sravya and Catherine on shaking off 2 misses in a row, and coming back to make their 3rds to secure totals.

Congratulations to U25 athlete Aimee on hitting lifetime and competition PRs, and just narrowly missing out on a Bronze medal.

Congratulations to Youth Medal winners Sierra and Jax on hitting lifetime and competition PRs, and each walking away with Bronze medals in the 16/17 year old division.

Congratulations to Youth athlete Aiden on going a perfect 6/6, hitting all new PRs, and walking away as YOUTH NATIONAL CHAMPION in the M13u, +65kg division.

Very proud of the effort shown by each athlete on the competition platform.

We all now have learned new lessons, and have new things to work on, Coach Dan included.

On to the next one.
