The following are their responses:<STRONG>Q: IS LIFTING WEIGHTS JUST A MAN THING?</STRONG> <STRONG>Ashley:</STRONG>That's like saying Basketball is only a guy's game. <STRONG>Lindsey:</STRONG> Girl's need to get strong too. <STRONG>Brianne: </STRONG>Guys are naturally strong so it's even more important for girls to weight train. <STRONG>Cherisse: </STRONG>We are not doing it to bulk up but to get stronger and better. <STRONG>Q:IS IT TOUGH TO GET MOTIVATED AFTER WINNING TWO NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS IN A ROW? Ashley: </STRONG>My motivation is for now! My last chance is next year. <STRONG>Lindsey: </STRONG>My freshman year, I didn't do very much but then I thought just how good we <U>could</U> be. <STRONG>Brianne: </STRONG>Our expectations and standards are so much higher. We have got to meet them. <STRONG>Cherisse: </STRONG>I've always had someone in front of me. I've got to prove myself. If we all can get just a little faster, jump a little higher and get a little stronger. <STRONG>Q: WHAT ABOUT COLLEGE?</STRONG> <STRONG>Ashley: </STRONG>I want to play and go into something like sports broadcasting. Definitely something in sports. <STRONG>Lindsey: </STRONG>I want to play both volleyball and basketball. I plan on going into the medical field, possibly a sports orthopedic surgeon. <STRONG>Briane: </STRONG>Oh yeah! I want to play in college. I plan on being a business major. <STRONG>Cherisse: </STRONG>Yes, I would like to play in college. I am considering a major in nursing and business. <STRONG>Q: WILL WEIGHT TRAINING MAKE A GIRL LESS FEMININE? Ashley:</STRONG> Hey, healthy is in. <STRONG>Lindsey: </STRONG>That depends on how you do it. <STRONG>Brianne: </STRONG>It's an athletic thing to do. <STRONG>Cherisse: </STRONG>Muscle tone is a good thing. It is attractive. <STRONG>Q: WILL WEIGHTS SCREW UP YOUR TOUCH? Ashley: </STRONG>You can adjust by just practicing. <STRONG>Lindsey: </STRONG>When you play and lift, your body adjusts. <STRONG>Brianne: </STRONG>I don't believe it! <STRONG>Cherisse: </STRONG>All you need to do is have balance in your training. <STRONG>Q: WHAT ABOUT DRUGS AND ALCOHOL MIXED WITH ATHLETICS? Ashley: </STRONG>Don't touch it. Don't mess with it. My religious beliefs keep me from doing it. I have never had a drop. <STRONG>Lindsey: </STRONG>I don't do it because it isn't right. We all have made it clear to our friends that we don't do that stuff. So there is no social pressure now. <STRONG>Q: WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE SUCCESSFUL OR DO YOU HAVE ANY SAGE ADVICE? Ashley: </STRONG>You have only one chance in life so make the best of it. We didn't win the national championship on March 3rd: we won it with three hour practices and obeying the rules. <STRONG>Lindsey: </STRONG>It takes dedication and hard work. Also, if you are going to play, you should play because you love it. <STRONG>Brianne: </STRONG>Talent can only take you so far. You have to have a work ethic. <STRONG>Q: WHAT DO THE GUYS THINK ABOUT YOU LIFTING WEIGHTS? Ashley: </STRONG>The guys know this is what we do. <STRONG>Lindsey: </STRONG>I am getting stronger. So what if you're a girl. <STRONG>Cherisse: </STRONG>Sometimes they say, "You're such a wimp." But, we are National Champions. We aren't going to let them intimidate us.&nbsp;</P> <P>About three months after our interview and just before we went to press, I called the girls to find out what the effects of our mini-clinic were on their lifting program. Here is what they said: <STRON
