Hubert won gold in bench press, squat, deadlift and combination (total weight of the previous three categories).
 
“We are so excited for Elizabeth and her opportunity to compete as a Special Olympian,” said Jason Klunck, Walmart store manager. “She did a fantastic job representing Walmart, and we look forward to celebrating her multiple wins in Seattle.”

The 2018 Special Olympics USA Games were held in Seattle July 1-6. More than 4,000 athletes and coaches representing all 50 states and the District of Columbia competed in 14 Olympic-type team and individual sports.
