Before breaking her record, Myers snatched 91kg. Her 213kg total was also a new Junior American Total Record. Myers also owned that record, which used to be 209kg.
Myers would end up taking 4th overall after losing the tiebreaker under the new tiebreak format implemented in 2017.
Myers also competes in CrossFit and just missed qualifying for the 2017 CrossFit Games by one place. She still has the opportunity to join her team, CrossFit Invictus, at the Games.
