When the school needed the wrestling room back this fall, we moved the weights to the bus storage room. The kids said they couldn t go without their two in-season workouts so the team went down and pulled out the squat racks, benches and bars for the power clean and we did our workouts in that cramped area. The kids wouldn t have it any other way.<br>____________________<br><br>BFS: Do you have all sports doing BFS?<br><br>Strength Coach Godfrey: We have girls gymnastics, girls volleyball, baseball, wrestling, boys basketball, football and the throwers in track doing BFS. I think that soon the remaining few will be doing it too.<br>____________________<br><br>BFS: How do the girls like the program?<br><br>Strength Coach Godfrey: I have a lot of girls on the program. They love the program too. It is great to have them in the weight room because they have no egos when working out. The boys are learning a lot from the girls. The girls are dedicated to perfect technique and know that with perfect technique, the weight will follow.<br><br>____________________<br><br>Thank you Coach Ewald and Coach Godfrey for sharing your championship experiences with us. You are both true Elevens!. 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 my school we'd flunk out! <br><br>A Day in the Life<br><br>LeeAnn works out four days a week. On the fifth day she does cardio, which may be in the form of plyometrics, football, jumping rope or anything else she can find to get herself running around. Her weight training is basic: working her upper body two days out of the week and her lower body two days.<br>In addition to her hour of weights, she attends practices and some days watches the games at home to hone her competition and performance. She still manages to participate in the Church Parish Youth Program.<br> We work mostly on fund-raisers. For instance, we just bought a man a computer. He had his leg amputated and was trying to write his diary, but didn't have a computer. We do a lot of that type of work.<br> We also send two representatives to the parish council to give them input about how the kids feel about our church. It's good that we're able to express our opinions, and the council appreciates being able to stay in touch with the youth. It's important. <br>LeeAnn looks up to many sports celebrities, including soccer's Mia Hamm, but she admiresi
