Jorge Saldana did it again! Jorge competed at the USAPL National Raw Powerlifting Competition in October and won first place to receive the gold medal in the Junior Division 59kg. weight class, which also secured him a spot on the USA World Team for the second time. Jorge competed in Sweden in 2015 as a Member of the USA World Bench Press Team. This year on June 15th Jorge will be traveling to Minsk, Belarus to compete with the rest of the USA Raw World Team members in the IPF World Open Classic Powerlifting Championships. Jorge will be traveling, and competing with 2014 Devine graduate Sawyer Yandell. We pray the Lord keeps you both safe during your travel to and from Minsk, Belarus. We wish you both the best of luck in competition. Let your hard work and determination reflect in your totals. You two young men have shown that small town boys, with enough strength, determination, and heart you can succeed in reaching any goal you set for yourself. Go represent the USA and bring home the medal.
