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.
