Amelia Jackson represented both Canada and the Department of Classics and Archaeology at the World Bench Press Championships in Warsaw, Poland. She earned a bronze medal in the 84+ Jr women category with a bench press of 105 kg. The Canadian Junior Women’s team (18-23) won gold for the team overall points! Thanks, Amelia, for bringing your ancient training to an international stage. Don’t miss Amelia’s Engaged Leadership project, When in Rome… Lift Heavy, a blog that explored and field tested the training practices and performance of ancient athletes. Congratulations, Amelia!
