GAPLF President pleased with season kick-off

…aiming to expand officials’ roster
Franklin Wilson, the President of the Guyana Amateur Powerlifting Federation, expressed his satisfaction with the season’s beginning following the Novices Championships held on Sunday at St Stanislaus College.
“This sets the stage for the lifters to graduate to a higher position, the next competition would be the intermediate and then we go to our senior competition. It’s a good start for us in this new term as a new body and we are looking forward to an exciting year for the sport here in Guyana,” stated Wilson.
Additionally, Wilson emphasised the need for the sport to become more decentralised and identified a key strategy to support this goal.

“We want to increase the pool because we don’t have enough officials and we want to decentralize the sport, so we are hoping that we can do the same thing for officials in Essequibo, in Berbice, in Linden. And we’re aiming to ultimately reach as far as Lethem, because increasing the officials pool is critically important,” Wilson pointed out.
At the conclusion of the Novices Championships, Andrew Bailey and Charlotte Charles were recognised as the best lifters.
