       2026 AMERICAN CHALLENGE:  The American Challenge is a fantastic meet as there are meets spread all across the country.  Lifters simply have to compete at the closest meet and when all meets are finished, the results are compiled, and a national champion is crowned. 

​

       THE TOP 10 AMERICAN CHALLENGE PREVIEW:  I am going to keep this write up short and simple.  I love to see consistency, so this write up will focus on the lifters who have won the most national titles in their event.  If there is a tie, I look to see who has won more titles in another event and if it's still a tie, I look to see whose national title is the most recent.  Any lifter who hasn't won a title since 2021 I'm not including, but I will put them back in the write up next year if they come back AND win this year.

     (#10) NATASHA BEASLEY:  I broke my own rules, but I only had nine lifters who qualified based on my criteria.  This being the case, I went back to 2021 to see who the best of the rest was and that lifter was...Natasha Beasley.  Not only has Natasha won five national titles in the curl, but Natasha has also won five national titles in powerlifting.  'IF' Natasha comes back in 2026, competes and wins, Natasha will jump up quite a few notches for my 2027 preview.
