Raegine A. Camacho won the women’s 81-kg division of last Saturday’s Northern Marianas Cup Weightlifting Tournament held at the Pedro P. Tenorio Multi-Purpose Center in Susupe.
Camacho defeated her lone competitor, Danica C. Guevarra, for the gold medal after totaling 125 kg in the snatch and clean and jerk competitions. She started the snatch with a lift of 45 kg before progressing to 50 kg. Camacho then recorded her best lift of 55 kg in the third and final round.
In the clean and jerk, Camacho started her campaign with 65 kg. She then lifted 70 kg in the second round before failing on her attempt at 75 kg in the third round.
Guevarra finished with a combined weight of 105 in the snatch and clean and jerk competitions. She began her snatch routine with 35 kg before advancing to 40 kg. She then recorded her best lift of 45 kg in the third round. In the clean and jerk, Guevarra cleared 50 kg in the first round before lifting a 60 kg in the second. Guevarra missed her try at 65 kg.
Other gold medalists in last Saturday’s competition were David Barnhouse (209-kg division), Angel San Nicolas (96 kg), Joey Tudela (81 kg), Joshua G. Meneses (73 kg), and Brandon San Nicolas (67 kg).
The CNMI Weightlifting Federation organized the Northern Marianas Cup Weightlifting Tournament and its president, John Davis, congratulated all the weightlifters for a successful event, even though he did remark it may have been the longest tourney of such kind as far as he could remember.
“This is actually a good learning process. But more than that you guys will be in the [International Weightlifting Federation] website. You’re going to be in different places as time goes by,” he said.
Davis said the CNMI Weightlifting Federation will host another weightlifting competition in June.
The CNMI Weightlifting Federation organized the competition. For more information on the weightlifting organization, call Davis at 789-9211.
