2024 Lift-a-thon Results
A good crowd was on hand in the WHS gym for the annual Steve Studer Memorial Lift-a-thon. It was surely an energetic and muscle-burning event, yet just one more step to the finish line as the Tigers continue the preparation to defend their 2023 Division II state championship. Once again, Strength Coach Dan Studer did a fantastic job of organizing and conducting the event.
Three lifts were performed by each participant: clean lift, bench press and squat. Each lifter selected his preferred weight for each lift and then attempted as many lifts as he could until his arms or legs gave out. A composite score was then used to determine the winner of each of eleven weight classes based on the total weight lifted and the number of reps (max. 10). Achievement medals were then awarded to the top three lifters in each category. Here are the winners:
- 140 lb. weight class – Gregory Corsale (So.)
- 150 lb. weight class – Richard Harris (Jr.)
- 160 lb. weight class – LoQuan Young (Sr.)
- 170 lb. weight class – Griffiths (Sr.)
- 180 lb. weight class – Lennox Lemon (Jr.)
- 190 lb. weight class – Jameir Gamble (Sr.)
