July 2023 Athlete of the Month

The Core Values of Conqueror Weightlifting are Effort, Attitude, Trust and Respect.

Each month, we recognize one of our athletes who excels in consistently demonstrating these Core Values. Our July 2023 Athlete of Month is Chassity Del Balso.

Chassity is a 13-year-old multi-sport athlete who competes in Olympic Weightlifting, Volleyball and Track and Field. She recently capped off an excellent year of athletic achievements by placing first at the USA Weightlifting National Youth Championships. It was her 2nd national title in weightlifting since 2021 and she is currently the #1 ranked weightlifter in the nation for her age and weight category.

Chassity’s impressive success on the weightlifting platform is a direct product of the consistent hard work she has put in over several years of training. Since starting weightlifting at the age of 8, she has not missed a single training session due to injury or illness! Chassity has done a particularly good job of maintaining her training regimen while involved in other sports which has helped her develop into a more well-rounded athlete.

In addition to her athletic success, Chassity excels in demonstrating a positive attitude while in the gym. She is kind and encouraging to her peers while going above and beyond to help our younger and less experienced athletes. Chassity can be counted on to help make the training environment one that is positive and encouraging for all.

Congratulations to Chassity on being selected as our Athlete of the Month!
