The Olympic Sport Strength and Conditioning Staff has recently completed the performance testing for those teams not in-season in the spring.
Using the previously established scoring system each team and individual athlete was ranked according to how well they performed on the combined test battery. The strength and conditioning staff also established top 10 lists for relative and absolute upper and lower extremity strength, using the squat and bench as the criterion exercises.
The overall team champions for both fall and spring sports were wrestling and women's soccer. The individuals achieving the highest average point totals and becoming the overall individual champions were Sheena Gordon (Track and Field) and Noah Cosby (Track and Field). The strength awards went to Drew Forshey (Wrestling) and Lindsey Bond (Track and Field).
The one repetition maximum record for squat for both males and females was broken this past year. The old male record held by Ben Connell (Wrestling) at 515 pounds was broken by Lee Superville (Soccer) who totaled 520 pounds. The old female record held by Ann Morrell (Soccer) at 320 pounds was broken by Sheena Gordon (Track and Field) and Casey Testa (Softball) who both totaled a new record of 340 pounds.
The one repetition maximum record for bench was broken on the female side by Whitney Gelin. She broke her own record from last by five pounds totaling 195. A detailed list of the results is given below in pdf format.
