British Sub-Junior Record 2008

After his guest appearance at the South East Powerlifting Championships, where Daniel squat a personal best 232.5kg at a 100kg, Ian Hampson, the Records' Registrar for Great Britain, has now accepted the lift as a British Sub-Junior Record. This was Daniel's last competition as a Sub-Junior competitor, so he will now need to set his mind on developing his lifts as he competes in the British U20s Championships at the end of January. Unfortunately for Daniel the record may not stand for long, as Joseph Walton, who also represented Great Britain in the World Sub-Junior Championships in South Africa,  was successful in a 255kg squat a week after Daniel's competition. While his record is still to be approved, Joseph has one more year as a Sub-Junior, so he will surely add to that number in the coming year.
