On March 25, 2023, the Sheffield Powerlifting Championships was the venue for numerous record-breaking performances across various divisions. The event saw the participation of elite powerlifters such as Amanda Lawrence, who led the way in setting new benchmarks for the sport. Among them was the 52-kilogram athlete Evie Corrigan, who added her name to the extensive list of powerlifting champions with her stunning display of strength and skill.
Evie Corrigan’s Raw IPF World Records
Competing in the Sheffield championships, Corrigan scored two raw International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) World Records. Her first record was in the deadlift category, where she lifted a massive 202.5 kilograms (446.4 pounds). She went on to set her second record at the end of the competition, with a total weight of 460 kilograms (1,014.3 pounds).

Although Corrigan’s achievements were indeed remarkable, they came with a caveat. Fellow 52-kilogram athlete Jenn Rotsinger had previously set a deadlift record of 202.5 kilograms (446.4 pounds) at the 2019 United States Powerlifting Association (USPA) The Tribute. Rotsinger’s total weight at the same competition was five kilograms more than Corrigan’s IPF raw World Record total. However, it is important to note that the USPA falls under the jurisdiction of the International Powerlifting League (IPL) and not the IPF. As a result, Rotsinger can claim the all-time raw deadlift and total World Records, but Corrigan stands alone in the 52-kilogram IPF class.
Corrigan’s Top Stats at the 2023 Sheffield Championships
Here is an overview of Corrigan’s impressive stats from the Sheffield Championships:
- Squat: 160 kilograms (352.7 pounds)

In her Instagram post, Corrigan expressed her gratitude towards the people who supported her and promised to share her story in greater detail in a longer form of content. She admitted that while she knew there was a possibility of winning, the actual results exceeded her wildest dreams.
Evie Corrigan’s Remarkable Career
According to Open Powerlifting, Corrigan has participated in 19 sanctioned powerlifting contests and emerged victorious in 16 of them. Her latest triumph puts her at the top of an international division, and there is a sense that her reign is only just beginning. Corrigan’s dedication and hard work have brought her to this point, and her talent and determination show no signs of slowing down.
At the End, Evie Corrigan’s performance at the 2023 Sheffield Powerlifting Championships was nothing short of phenomenal. Her two IPF raw World Records in the deadlift and total categories were impressive feats that showcased her incredible strength and power. Despite Rotsinger’s record, Corrigan’s success in the 52-kilogram IPF class is a testament to her hard work and dedication to the sport. With her talent and determination, there is no doubt that Corrigan will continue to make a mark in the world of powerlifting.
