The WerkSan High School Weightlifting
Program will feature a series of competitions. In
summary, the events will:
- Be team focused in order to maximize the
number of participants, hoping that peer pressure will
be exerted to fill rosters.
- Occur during the winter sports
season, concluding with State Championships.
- Follow State Championships
with National Championships in years beyond 2008. One
boy’s team and
one girl’s team from each region will qualify for
the National High School Team Weightlifting Championships.
- Schools will not be limited in the number
of entries per school per weight class, but team results
would be determined using usual methods.
- If participation
levels warrant, the program will feature two “age” groups – freshman / sophomores
and juniors / seniors – with weight classes commensurate
with the age groups.
The rules of weightlifting will be
followed with the exception that school uniforms consisting
of shorts above the knee and shirt tucked into shorts
with sleeves above the elbows may be worn in place of
singlets, and multiple platforms may be used, with referees
traveling from one to the next as needed. |
