Josh Janikowski (14) has only
been a member of Kilmarnock
Amateur Weightlifting Club
(KAWLC) for a year but has
made great progress so far.
Josh competed in the Scottish
School Championships in
Easterhouse in February this year
and became the Scottish School
Boys Best Lifter in his weight
group and Best Lifter in his age
group. Less than a month later
Josh was off to Birmingham to
compete in the British School
championships, taking 3rd place
in his weight category in an all
Scottish top 3. In April, Josh
competed in the Scottish Youth
Championships where he took 3rd
place and achieved a new personal
best (PB) in his snatch lift (53kg)
and an overall new PB (169kg).
Josh trains twice weekly in the
kawlc gym in shortlees with the
other club members and also trains
the other 5 days at home in the
garage that has been made into
a gym for him. Josh is trained by
Chick Hamilton, Georgi Black
and Sophie Smyth who have all
competed in Commonwealth
Games.
Well done Josh from all at The Review!
Hey Presto!
