Abigail (Abbey) Watson
World-record holding
powerlifter
Abbey started working out
at DEFY! in the sixth grade, and quickly found
a love of CrossFit, and of mastering the
basic, heavy lifts. After training with us for
two years, she decided at 13 years old she'd
like to enter her first N.A.S.A.
(Natural Athlete Strength
Association)-sanctioned state powerlifting meet. She
not only took first place in her division, and
qualified for the National Meet, she set
several state and American records, and earned
praise from the judges, the other lifters, and
even the N.A.S.A. state chairman and the
organization president.
At the
National Meet in January, she broke her previous
records, set new World Records, and was awarded
Outstanding Teen Lifter. As of February 2012, in
the 105 lb weight class, her personal bests are:
Squat: 65 kg (143 lbs)
Bench press: 36 kg (80 lbs)
Deadlift: 80 kg (176 lbs)
Abbey has been
featured on 9News,
as well as cnn.com, Denver Post online, and
numerous articles
and out-of-state news programs around the
country.
