Kelsey Trombly, 21, of Huron Township achieved four world records in Powerlifting in June.
She is a graduate of Huron High School. She has always been an athlete and had offers from various colleges to play volleyball. She decided she wanted to stay remote and was offered a nice scholarship to play and attend Schoolcraft College.
During her time at Schoolcraft she began lifting heavier weights more and saw the potential she had to attain state and national records in Powerlifting.
She ended up pursuing the route of AAPF Powerlifting (a branch of the World Powerlifting Congress), drug free, and Raw division and leaving school. She now trains/coaches athletes, does her own Powerlifting schedule, is an animal/dog sitter and had her first sponsored Powerlifting meet.
Kelsey has been Powerlifting for just two years starting at the age of 19 and attaining that age group’s State records in her first meet.
In that short time she has attained eight state records, six national records and now holds four world records. June 13 was the APF/AAPF 2025 Nationals Championships at the Royal Oak Gym, Royal Oak, MI.
She competed in the AAPF, Female Junior division (20-23 year old), 165#/75kg weight class, Raw and beat all four World Records. These are her world records: Squat 319.5 pounds, Bench 214.75 pounds, Deadlift 380.25 pounds, Total of all three lifts 914.5 lbs.
All these were accomplished with an injured hamstring, which occurred in April during a church-related volleyball tournament. She plans on taking a break and rehabbing her hamstring and will attempt to beat her current records with the numbers she was hitting prior to hurting her leg.
Her mother, Kelley M. Trombley of Huron Township, said her daughter is an amazing young woman with great aspirations.
“She is a positive role model for all young women and promotes positive attitude, a determination and goal-oriented mindset, and always walks through her spiritual faith in God,” Kelley Trombley said. She said Kelsey is looking for larger sponsorships so she can focus on her eating and lifting.
