Florida Elite
Final Florida Elite Squad has been named
As many of you know, top Florida lifters will be competiting against a club from Australia (New South Wales) in Altamonte Springs, July 17.  Our Florida Elite Squad (a program developed 2 years ago where the FWF selects the top 7 Women & top 8 Men as Florida's Elite) is named each year.  Because of other international competition schedule, to include the Jr. World Championships, Sr. World or Pan Am Championships (which just ended), not all current Florida Elite members could accept the July 17 meet. 

 

However, because of the large pool of Florida lifters we have we were able to move through the ranking and extend our selection to other promising lifters.  Congratulations to the following atheltes who were chosen to represt us on July 17.  The final Florida Elite roster is as follows:

  • Women
    • Brooke Baudendistel - 48
    • Kaycie Junco - 48
    • Halla Fattouha - 58
    • Kristen Smithers - 69
    • Samantha Tollman - 75
    • Ashley Rivera - 75
    • Stefania Maresca - 75+
  • Men
    • Nick Defrancisco - 69
    • Tim Scott - 69
    • Cory Aun - 77
    • Andrew Sweeney - 77
    • Foster Carasia - 85
    • Kyle Hannah - 85
    • Robert Smith - 94
    • Thomas Braddy - 105
