Head coach Scott Russell said the powerlifting team has doubled from 13 members to about 24-30 lifters on the team this season as the program heads into year two. The growth has led to a lot of enthusiasm around the team this year.
“You can just sense the energy in the room and the excitement of being there,” Russell said. “You know, 6:30 in the morning I think is tough on everybody, but the kids have bought in and they’re working, which is awesome.”
