A Bethel native has set three American powerlifting records.
Natalie Hanson set the records at the Alaska State Championships for Power Lifting, which was held in Anchorage.
KYUK reports (http://is.gd/fyJ4S1) she set records in the bench press, squat and total weight lifted in her age group and size. She competed in the Junior Division for ages 20-23, weighing under 75 kilograms, or 165 pounds.
She says she didn't even train for the competition. She was concentrating on cross-fit competitions when a friend noticed her natural ability and got her interested in powerlifting.
Hanson, who now lives in Anchorage, will compete at the nationals in Florida in July.
