Guam’s Anthony ‘Bigtone’ Salas walked away from the drug tested 2019 USPA National Championship in Las Vegas with two gold medals totaling a 1790 lb lift, including a personal best of 474 lbs in the bench press. Salas was even awarded a medal for “Best Lift”.
“I’m never satisfied because I’m still very new to the sport and feel there’s a lot of things to be worked on,” said Salas on his performance via Instagram messaging.
“The competition was tough. The person who took second was neck-and-neck on our final deadlift attempts,” added Salas.

Guam’s Wayne Blas completed his 13th Boston Marathon and 38th marathon overall.
The island’s record holder in the distance, Blas finished this year in 2:35:21.
“I’m very happy with this result because seven months ago, I was sidelined with a stress fracture that kept me out for three months. No running! To come back on an abbreviated marathon build and finish one of the toughest races strong and healthy was a big win for me.”
His time of 2:29:38 at the 2023 Chicago Marathon and World Marathon Majors Age Group Championships stands as the Guam National Record.
