When Dawsonville’s Charity Witt decided to try her hand at competitive powerlifting, it came at the urging of her boyfriend, powerlifter and Georgia’s Strongest Man winner Landon Jameson, as well as a personal desire to get stronger. But she had no idea the type of success she would have in her first meet ever, Saturday’s Iron Beast Invitational at the Iron Beast Gym in Gainesville. Not only did she set personal records, but when the totals were posted and the lifting scores calculated, she had won out over everybody else for fullpower Best Lifter, the first time in the history of the American Powerlifting Committee (APC) a female lifter had done that.
