Pulling Her Weight
By David Gignilliat
Olympic weightlifting is an elegant yet violent sport. Its quick, aggressive bursts test the outermost limits of the human body. A complex discipline that can easily take a lifetime to master, its explosive lifts take just a few seconds to execute. To watch Olympic weightlifter Cheryl Haworth use every inch of her 5’9, 300-pound frame to thrust massive disks of iron above her head is beyond impressive; it’s a feat that seems to transcend physics and defy convention. Country strong, built like a live oak, she is all trunk and branches moving toward a common goal—winning a medal.

We had a great turnout at the Pancake Breakfast- see some of the photos here:
