“I am stepping down as the Hudson Valley Regional Representative for the NY WSO. It has been an honor to serve for both the NY WSO and the previous LWC. I am proud of what we accomplished in my seven combined years on both boards.⁣
⁣
Under my tenure with NY LWC President Christopher Smith, governorships were established to represent the different regions of NY. The NYS Weightlifting Championships were instituted to celebrate NY weightlifting at a high caliber event. This initial board that I worked with helped stoke my passion for the sport as I worked with like minds to promote and elevate NY weightlifting.⁣
⁣
Under NY WSO President James McDermott, we streamlined the administration of the WSO while expanding and improving the NYS Weightlifting Championships. This event has gotten such tremendous positive feedback that is has been said to be run even better than many national events. This only happened due to the collaborative efforts of the entire board and the dedicated leadership of James McDermott. We celebrate athletes, coaches and teams. Everything we have done has been run through our filter of what would be better for NY weightlifting, and how can we improve on that year after year. ⁣
⁣
Thank you to all of the board members that I’ve worked with over the years and to everyone who supported us and NY weightlifting. I’m proud of this community. I hope that others will step up to continue to improve upon what we have built.⁣
⁣
Life has taken me in a different direction, and I am no longer a NY resident. For the first time in my life, I am living in another state. I am still involved in the sport as a Coach, Technical Official and as an athlete. I look forward to reconnecting with the many friends I have made so far on this journey. I’ll see you on the platform soon.⁣”

🥳 A huge congratulations to Sara Soto on her recent selection as Vice Chair of the USA Weightlifting Board of Directors!

Sara has worked tirelessly in the sport for over a decade, starting as an athlete, becoming a local referee, and eventually progressing to a Category 1 IWF Technical Official. She generously donates her time and expertise to local, national, and international events. No doubt, if you’ve been around the New York meet scene or attended one of the larger competitions across the country, you’ve seen Sara with a big smile and infectious positive energy, lifting up everyone around her.

In addition to her work as a Technical Official, Sara has contributed to the sport through governance. After serving with the Metropolitan LWC and then the NY WSO Committee, she went on to join the USA Weightlifting Board of Directors as an At-Large Director and has now been selected to serve as Vice Chair.

It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Sara cares deeply about this sport, and we’re excited to see her continue making an impact in this new role.

Congratulations, Sara! 🙌
