Jourdan is a young up and coming weightlifter and she has been setting some records recently. Since she basically cleared out her initial weight class of -55kg and set multiple American records there, it was only logical for her to go down a weight class and dominate in the -49kg weight class.
Which is exactly what happened over the weekend in Rome, Italy at the Weightlifting World Cup. Delacruz set 3 new records in snatch, clean and jerk and total. The new -49kg American snatch record now stands at 87kg, clean and jerk are now at 108kg and the total is set at 190kg. These new and impressive American records also earned a gold medal in both snatch and clean and jerk.
