On Sunday, April 3rd, Naomi Kutin competed in the 100% Raw National Masters and New England Powerlifting Championship in Burlington, VT. At a bodyweight of 88 lbs, and 9 years old, she competed in the youth category. Her squat of 187 lbs not only set a new youth category record, but also set a new record for the women's open category (the previous mark was 180). She attempted an all-time raw record of 205, but that will have to wait for another day. She benched 66, which was a personal best, and deadlifted a new youth category record of 193. She came close with a 4th attempt of 201, which would have been an open class record, but couldn't quite lock it out. Her total of 446 shattered the previous record of 402. This was her third meet, and in each contest her squat has improved by about 22 lbs from the one before. She is fiercely determined to reset the all-time squat record, which currently stands at 203.
Her squat of 187 puts her at #4 in the rankings for women 105 lbs and under. The deadlift is ranked 19th and her total of 446 is ranked 12th. Here are videos of her squats and deadlifts:
GREAT JOB NAOMI! LIFTING AND FORM LOOK GREAT. VERY FOCUSED FOR A 9 YR OLD BUT THAT IS WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE. CONGRATS.

Having trained with adult women that cannot lift those weights, I am very impressed. I hope she stays safe and that we do not lose her from our sport. That looks like a champion in the making.
Thank you! Her mother and I are doing our best to keep her safe, including watching her form, keeping her reps up and keeping her in a variety of sports (she particularly likes karate). Staying interested is up to her, but so far she loves lifting and competing.

I couldn't stop smiling as well. SUPER GIRL!!!
Ed, her strength is incredible! It's also great to hear you let her decide what interests her - this makes her success all the more meaningful since she's doing this for herself and not to keep you and her mother happy.
