Hey Guys, here's a little update on off-season workouts: The guys have really got after it this Spring. We really had a "changing of the guard" so to speak in the weight room. Some big ole strong boys who had been mainstays for the past four years have moved on to graduation. Guys like Newt Salisbury, Nate Johnson, Colby Cole, Matt Rodgers, David Roensch, Aaron Kelly to name a few. Those guys were big and strong and dedicated to the weight room.

So this Winter when we started out, it looked "different", smaller, leaner, younger in the weight room. We completed our final testing just a couple of weeks ago and it truly is amazing to see the strides we made in strength this Spring. I don't know if we've ever seen as much improvement in one off-season.

Some of the top lifters and t-shirt recipients include: Dakota Tredway 250lb bench press, Kennan Priddy 250lb bench press, Chris Kallin 250lb bench press, Cole Keim 450lb squat, Jake Douglass 405lb squat. Lifters recieving two t-shirts include: Jackson Due 225lb bench press & 400lb squat, Keenan Hamilton 225lb bench press & 400lb squat, T.J. Johnson 225lb bench press & 400lb squat, Rock Robbins 225lb bench press & 400lb squat and Justin Kothe 245lb bench press & 400lb squat. Great Job Guys!!!
