What do you enjoy about weightlifting? I enjoy the fight to be better than your last lift. I also enjoy how much all the girls, no matter what school you’re from, always support and cheer for each other. It’s a really great feeling.
How long have you been part of the weightlifting team? This is my second year on the team. I joined to get stronger for other sports and ended up really loving the sport and so I have stuck with it.
Describe one of your best moments in athletics. This entire season has been filled with best moments. Every week at each meet I have worked hard pushing 5 pounds better than the last. In November I was maxing 65 pounds at clean-and-jerk and 60 pounds on bench. I have put in a lot of work and I am now at 100 pounds on clean-and-jerk and 80 on bench in just two months.
