19-year old Hampton Morris<\/a> has already made a name for himself as an Olympic weightlifter competing for Team USA. The young strength athlete has been a mainstay of the 61-kilogram (134.5-pound) Mens Junior division for the past two years, racking up gold medals on an international stage. His latest competitive appearance was no different.<\/p>\n

On Sept. 6, at the 2023 International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) World Weightlifting Championships held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Morris set a Junior World Record performing a 168-kilogram (370.4-pound) clean & jerk<\/a><\/strong>. This earned him a gold medal in the event which, to make the feat even more spectacular, is the first time since 1972 that an American Mens competitor has earned gold in the clean & jerk at this prestigious competition<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
