Undergraduate Amelia Jackson medals in the World Bench Press Championships

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!
