BONICA BROWN Youngest Female To Eclipse the 500-Pound Squat Lift Battle Creek, MI Weight Lifting |
| Bonica Brown, a senior this fall at C-S High School, Battle Creek,
MI, earned three gold medals, a silver, placed first in her weight category
and won a Champion of Champions trophy at the North American Powerlifting
Championships at the James L. Knight Convention Center in Miami June 18th
and 19th. But perhaps her biggest accomplishment was her world record
lift in the squat of 501 1/2 pounds.
The squat total makes Bonica the youngest female to eclipse the 500 pound plateau and puts her in a category of only a select few in any age category who have recorded a 500-pound squat lift. She garnered international attention recently by bringing home four gold medals from the 2004 World Jr. and Sub Jr. Powerlifting Championships in Pretoria, South Africa Sept. 8-12. Brown earned gold medals in the deadlift, squat, bench and for a total weight, helping the U.S. Women's Team to a first place finish at the event. Her team scored 57 points, Russia was second with 48 points and Ukraine third with 44 points. Bonica had reset the world record in her weight division (198 pounds) two previous occasions with lifts of 473 3/4 pounds and 479 1/2 pounds before recording the 501 1/2 lift for a gold medal. She also earned a gold medal in the bench with a world record mark she reset at 264 1/2 pounds (the world record mark was 248 pounds. The talented powerlifter earned a silver medal in the deadlift with a lift of 385 3/4 pounds and had a total weight of 1152 3/4 pounds for a gold medal. She also earned the Champion of Champions trophy, which is given to a weight lifter based on a formula of how much the person lifts are according to their weight. Bonica will now prepare for the Sub. Jr. Worlds Competition in Indiana in September. |
