Brooke Neumann
WSO REP
I’m a proud athlete, coach and board member of Wisconsin Weightlifting, driven by a mission to make Olympic Weightlifting more accessible and inclusive across our state. I believe everyone in Wisconsin who wants to step onto the platform deserves a clear pathway to do so. When I’m not lifting or coaching, I work as a nurse and love spending time with my friends, family, and my cat, Josie. If you’re interested in joining a weightlifting club, hosting a meet, or simply learning more about this incredible sport, I’d love to connect!

AnnMarie Swanson
WSO REP
My name is AnnMarie Swanson and I have been involved in Olympic weightlifting since 2015 as an athlete, coach, and a technical official. Weightlifting is a passion of mine, and you have probably seen me around at local and national USAW events over the years. One of my favorite parts of the sport is the community — I love meeting new people, talking weightlifting, and building connections through the sport.I joined the Wisconsin WSO Board because I want to help continue to grow weightlifting and show people that it is a sport accessible to everyone, regardless of age, size, or experience level. Whether someone is stepping onto the platform for the first time or has been competing for years, I believe there is a place for everyone in our weightlifting community.

Ash discovered weightlifting in 2021 and never looked back. She joined the WSO to help other people find their weightlifting community. Ash occasionally coaches at meets through Milwaukee Barbell and loves working with athletes new to the sport. As a master's athlete, she's ready to bring a grumpy old perspective to the board.
