WAYNE STUDENTS NOW COMPETING IN WEIGHTLIFTING
The competitions consist of three different types of lifts: the BENCH PRESS, the DEAD LIFT and the CLEAN.
When attempting the Bench Press, a person lies on their back on a bench, brings the bar to their chest and then presses the weight up vertically until their elbows lock. The Dead Lift requires the competitor to lift the weight off the floor until he reaches a standing position, with his shoulders back. The Clean requires the lifter to snap the weight off the floor and up to his chest.
The top five places receive points. Wayne’s results in the meet were as follows:
RAY BYERS placed 2nd over-all in 181 lbs. sophomore class.
