For 2 years I've played catch up. Gotta improve 5kg at this meet. 10kg at this meet. PR both lifts at this meet. Just to make up for lost time from starting so late into the quad. 99% of the time, I've some how squeezed by. Earning a spot here, there, setting this record or that record. Improving my total by 60kg since the first time I was ranked as an alternate for the Jr Pan Am team in 2014 and the never ending game of catch up began. I haven't competed in a single competition in the last two years that an increase was not necessary. I have pushed and fought my way to the top few spots first in the junior division, then slowly in the senior division. This time, I didn't have what was needed in me. I fought with everything I had and though it was possible, I lost this battle. Heart breaking is an understatement. Making the Olympic team is all I've ever wanted. It is everything I have thought, dreamed, worked and LIVED for every single day for the last 2 years. Those who I've seen discredit me because "this isn't a popularity contest, she just isn't good enough. The ranking is the way it is for a reason"; you're wrong. I am good enough. I am strong enough. And I will come back better. The ranking is based off of very specific numbers and a process that is probably too confusing for most to understand. It is very disrespectful to bash someone because of their social media presence. It means nothing in this sport. What matters is what is lifted. After a slight confusion and miscalculation, I was awarded best lifter at the USAW Senior National Championship and Olympic Trials. An award given based off of Sinclair (body weight to weight lifted percentage), naming me the number 1 lifter pound for pound in the United States. Granted it means nothing in terms of the Olympic team, but it a nice award to receive. On to the next, Pan American Championships next month. This is not the end, it's just the beginning. Congratulations to the 3 women representing the United States in Rio @jenny.arthur @モーガン・キング @roblympian, you all deserve it. #EarnedNotGiven #HeadDownEyesForward
