White Rock weightlifter places third at Canadian junior championships.

White Rock weightlifter Michael Hungerschafer has some new hardware, following a bronze-medal finish at the 2016 Canadian Junior Weightlifting Championships, held in Regina, Sask. Jan. 16.

Hungerschafer, 19, competed in the 94-kg division, with lifts of 106kg snatch, 128 kg clean-and-jerk and 233kg total.
