Rachel Siemens off to Univeristy Games

Rachel Siemens has some travelling to do this summer, thanks to an impressive showing at last weekend’s Canadian Weightlifting Championships in Edmonton.

Siemens, a member of the Pacific Coast Nomads Weightlifting Club, won the bronze medal in the women’s 69-kilogram class. The third-place showing helped qualify Siemens, a kinesiology student at the University of Victoria, for the World University Games in Kazan, Russia, in July.
