Hard work recently paid off for four CVA students. Each managed to lift a combined 500 or 1,000 pounds in three lifts—bench press, deadlift, and squat. Their names are now added to the "Raising the Bar" banner hanging in the school fitness center.
Joining the Girls' 500-pound Club
Sophomore-Dani Luke - 540 pounds (110# bench press, 225# deadlift, and 205# squat) Dani is the first sophomore girl.
Joining the 1,000-pound Club
Junior-Landon LaFountain - 1,000 pounds (240# bench press, 425# deadlift, and 335# squat)
Senior-Hudson Albrecht - 1,000 pounds (250# bench press, 415# deadlift, and 335# squat)
The club is one of the ways CVA works to improve the strength and general health of the students. During the school day and after school, Justin and Liz Hoffman of Movement, Strength, & Fitness operate the fitness center and support students in achieving their fitness goals. They work with all students, whether or not they are athletes.
