And you can see it in their eyes. They re hungry and have a beautiful attitude, and I just know they re going to be in the BFS magazine when they win the state championship, with a title like  From 1-9 to State Champions. That s going to be one heck of a story. <br>Coach George, we believe it!sed more on passion than genetic gifts.<br> She makes her own choices regarding what sports to participate in, says Coach Sargent.  If she is clearly inclined to any single activity I'd have to say that it's exercise. She wants to be good at everything she does and she works hard at it. <br>Although she was exposed to weight training before high school, it wasn't until high school that she really got involved.  I needed it to work on speed and strength for basketball and track, although right now I'm not doing as much. <br>The first thing she noticed was better tone. She also 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 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 s
