PowHERhouse Portrait
Lily Riggs - Youth PowHERlifter
The quest to become a better version of yourself can often feel like a bumpy road paved with many false starts and stops along the way. It can be challenging, tiring, and scary and there is no guaranteed success. But the alternative is the average, the unfulfilling, the safe, well-worn path already taken by many.
That path didn’t cut it for 18-year-old old Lily Riggs.

Biggest highlight in your career/journey thus far?
"The biggest highlight of my career so far has to be my first powerlifting competition at UBC. I won my age and weight, got all the BC records for my age and weight (squat, bench, deadlift, overall, and bench only) and also won top overall female lifter for the entire competition. Also, made my coach cry!"
