And energetic group of players and fans gathered in the WHS gym for the annual Steve Studer Memorial Lift-a-thon, the first in front of a live audience since the Covid-19 Pandemic hit the country. 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 twelve weight classes based on the total weight lifted and the number of reps. Achievement medals were then awarded to the top three lifters in each category. Here are the winners:
140 lb. weight class – Gage Gordon (Jr.)
- Total Load – 780 lbs.
150 lb. weight class – Zach Leibler (Jr.)
- Total Load – 815 lbs.
