📍Meet Virginia Co-State Chair, Gabrielle Hahs (gabrielleh_13)
Gabrielle discovered powerlifting shortly after moving to Virginia, when a local meet at her gym sparked her passion for the sport. Following her “watch one, work one, do one” philosophy, she began volunteering as a spotter/loader before competing in her first meet in June 2023. Since then, she’s earned both her state and national referee certifications and has competed multiple times — continuing to deepen her involvement with USA Powerlifting.
As Co-State Chair, Gabrielle loves connecting with lifters and collaborating with Virginia’s dedicated meet directors and referees. Together with her co-chair, Danielle, she’s focused on expanding membership across the state and introducing more athletes to powerlifting through outreach to local gyms and high schools.
Gabrielle’s favorite part of the sport? The energy of meet day — and sharing that excitement with every lifter who steps onto the Virginia platform. 💪
