Libby hopes that she will be an inspiration to young girls starting out in the sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"570\" height=\"720\" data-id=\"5937\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aberconwy.conwy.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Libby-R-Powerlifting-Champion-May-23.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5937\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aberconwy.conwy.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Libby-R-Powerlifting-Champion-May-23.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.aberconwy.conwy.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Libby-R-Powerlifting-Champion-May-23-238x300.jpg 238w, https:\/\/www.aberconwy.conwy.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Libby-R-Powerlifting-Champion-May-23-10x12.jpg 10w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"621\" height=\"727\" data-id=\"5942\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aberconwy.conwy.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5942\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aberconwy.conwy.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture1.png 621w, https:\/\/www.aberconwy.conwy.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture1-256x300.png 256w, https:\/\/www.aberconwy.conwy.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture1-10x12.png 10w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 621px) 100vw, 621px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"560\" height=\"719\" data-id=\"5940\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aberconwy.conwy.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5940\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aberconwy.conwy.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture2.png 560w, https:\/\/www.aberconwy.conwy.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture2-234x300.png 234w, https:\/\/www.aberconwy.conwy.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture2-9x12.png 9w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"739\" data-id=\"5941\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aberconwy.conwy.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5941\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aberconwy.conwy.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture3.png 600w, https:\/\/www.aberconwy.conwy.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture3-244x300.png 244w, https:\/\/www.aberconwy.conwy.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture3-10x12.png 10w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"661\" height=\"755\" data-id=\"5944\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aberconwy.conwy.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5944\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aberconwy.conwy.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture5.png 661w, https:\/\/www.aberconwy.conwy.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture5-263x300.png 263w, https:\/\/www.aberconwy.conwy.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture5-11x12.png 11w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 661px) 100vw, 661px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"621\" height=\"834\" data-id=\"5945\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aberconwy.conwy.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture6.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5945\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aberconwy.conwy.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture6.png 621w, https:\/\/www.aberconwy.conwy.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture6-223x300.png 223w, https:\/\/www.aberconwy.conwy.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture6-9x12.png 9w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 621px) 100vw, 621px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations to Head Student Libby, who recently competed in the British Junior and Sub Junior National Championships&#8230;
