Eleni Guerrera, the 2023 57kg High School National Champion and Best Lifter, will be making her debut on the US National Team at the Sub-Junior World Championships in Romania on August 28. Eleni qualified for worlds by achieving the best total of all Sub-Juniors in the 57kg class with 375kg and in the top 9 overall Sub-Junior women on IPF GL points with 90.87, which was the second highest. She recaps her performance, the changes she’s made since HS Nats, and gives some insights into what might happen at the World Championships where it looks like she will be in a heated three way battle for the gold medal.
