He was competing in the 77-kg division at the competition, which was held at the Richmond Olympic Oval May 20-22.

The trio also finished one-two-three out of the 104 competitors under the Sinclair Rating, which compares the different weight classes.

Another Langley lifter, Tyler McLennan, placed seventh in the 85-kg division.

He lifted a total of 270 kg.

Both Masse and McLennan train out of Langley’s Campus Crossfit.
