SPECIAL THANKS to the Heard County School System for a GREAT EVENT hosting the GACA LEE MURRAY STATE WEIGHT LIFTING CHAMPIONSHIP 2023!
The Lee Murray Weight Lifting Championships originated with the GACA when Coach Lee
Murray organized coaches in the off-season to help motivate strength programs to compete
on a state level. Weight Lifting is NOT a GHSA sport and the GACA – Lee Murray Weight Lifting
Championships are NOT a GHSA sanctioned event and does not require normal GHSA eligibility
criteria.
The events are insured by the GACA and require that each participating athlete have a
current physical on file with the participating school. All rules and competition decisions in the
event are final with the GACA and the Event Coordinator…
