Trinity Weightlifting Team hits new heights

The Trinity College Weightlifting team is coached by P.K.N. Dayan, a South Asian Games Silva medalist. He has done yeoman service for Weightlifting at Trinity with total commitment to the task. His efforts have been well rewarded for the Trinity team and has returned to the alma mater after each competition with an abundance of medals and trophies.

Trinity have been the champion schools' team at the 'Nationals' and also brought back for the first time a medal at an International Competition when I.M. Aqaam Wahabdeen won the Bronze medal at the 95 kg weight class at the Commonwealth Weightlifting Championships in Malaysia. Two Trinitians secured places in the Sri Lanka team, S. Liyanaratchi and I.M. Aqaam Wahabdeen.

It is to the credit of Trinity that now they are producing Weightlifters who are performing at the International Level being coached by Dayan who is totally devoted to the sport.
