Ft. with 12 squat racks, 12 benches, 12 trap bars, 12 clean bars and a multitude of weight belts.&nbsp; Over 90 players lift before school from 6 a.m.-7:15 a.m. during all seasons.</P> <P>After the first year, the next six years saw consecutive playoff appearances.&nbsp; In 1993, the first BFS T gained some weight and muscle mass, but keeps the latter to a minimum in order to excel nearly simultaneously at swimming, track, agility and strength sports. Too much muscle has its downside, and as far as women bodybuilders go, LeeAnn gives the group a thumbs down.  They've just taken it a little too far, she says. Coach agrees.<br> I believe the fitness championships, not bodybuilding, set a better example of what weight training can do for a woman, says Sargent.  Our female athletes have a better understanding now of weight training, although there are still lingering stereotypes. Right now we have more girls involved than ever. Some are non-athletes, like our cheerleaders, who use our program for conditioning. It's great. <br>For LeeAnn, strength training was not only the catalyst for her championships in shot, javelin, basketball and volleyball, but also for her confident, positive attitude.  A lot of people don't recognize that weight training makes you feel better. It's like reaching for a personal best every day. It's a real good thing for anyone to do for their body and their attitude. It makes you feel good. <br>Malta's program relies on the BFS core lifts, and BFS training materials have been on Coach Sargent's desk since he began coaching.  We start out on quarter parallel squats, then bench squats, but with each kid we may work out a little differently. We all enjoy the one-rep-max contests we have three times a year. That's one of the great things about the BFS program. It brings out team camaraderie in weight training, which for many is only self-oriented. <br>Malta High was recently treated to a new $12.6 million building, after a fire destroyed the former facility. The weight room is an adequate 940 square feet with a full gamut of serious strength training equipment including power racks. LeeAnn wishes the strength training area could be larger, but she's proud of her school.<br> I wish we had more sports to participate in. But we still have great support for all our athletes and a really great academic school, she says.  When we were out of town at the state tournament we took a look at the other school's grading standard. For them, 90 to 100 was an A. For Malta it's 94 to 100. They had people passing at 60; at m
