We're beyond excited to announce that Grace Montgomery has qualified to represent Team USA at the Junior World Championships in Olympic Style Weightlifting! This is a monumental achievement for her and Lindenwood Weightlifting as she is the first athlete in our program's history to qualify for this prestigious event.

As her coach, I've witnessed firsthand the grit, sacrifice, and passion Grace pours into her training every single day. She has set an incredible example for her teammates, proving that with heart, dedication, and perseverance, extraordinary dreams can become reality. Now, she has the honor of stepping onto the international stage, competing against the best in the world, and representing Team USA.

This milestone isn't just a personal triumph for Grace; it's a huge step forward for our program and a source of inspiration for young lifters everywhere. However, getting to the Junior World Championships comes with significant financial challenges. We need your help to cover the travel and competition costs for both Grace and myself as her coach.

Your support will ensure she has everything she needs to focus on her performance and make the most of this incredible opportunity. Every donation—no matter the size—helps cover expenses such as airfare, accommodations, registration fees, and other travel-related costs.

By contributing to Grace's journey, you're not only helping her make history but also investing in the future of Lindenwood Weightlifting and supporting the sport we love.

Let's rally behind her and show her that she has a whole community cheering her on! Even if you can't donate, sharing this page and spreading the word will make a huge difference.

Thank you for being part of this exciting chapter. Together, we can send Grace to the Junior World Championships and help her proudly represent Team USA and Lindenwood Weightlifting on the world stage!
