Mickey Belaineh

Mickey Belaineh started Powerlifting at Texas A&M in the Spring of 2012, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BA in Political Science. With the exceptional support from the A&M team and coach, she went on to be the 2012 USAPL Collegiate National Champion (198-pound class) after having only eight weeks to learn how to powerlift and train. She is now attending Harvard Law School, and has since been a USAPL Raw National Champion (Junior/Open), an IPF Raw World Champion (Junior), and holds three USAPL American Records (Raw).
