🏅 From the Y to the podium!
Meet Jaeylin, a junior at UW Tacoma whose powerlifting journey began right here at the Y through our Intro to Powerlifting class. What started with learning the fundamentals and building strength turned into an incredible first competition experience!

On August 29, 2026, Jaeylin competed in her first-ever powerlifting competition, the 2026 USAPL Summer End, and took home 1st place in her weight division! 💪🏆

We’re so proud of the dedication, hard work, and confidence she’s built along the way. Her journey is a great reminder that every big accomplishment starts with taking that first step.
