I started lifting to work on upper body strength for the throwing events in track.
Why I Love It:
I love it because it gives me a sense of accomplishment, like I achieved something. Nothing is better than after a workout knowing you gave it everything you had to build strength.
How I Stay Motivated:
I just finished up my senior year, and high school track season. I'll be going to college this fall. I want to stay in shape and get stronger so I can join the power lifting team.

long jump - 16'3"
high jump - 4'9"
pole vault - 10' (in practice)
shot put - 36'10"
discus - 100'
javelin - 116'
100m - 13.0
200m - 28
800m - 2:40
mile - 7 min (in practice)

Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.
