The Regis faculty is distinguished with 92% having earned doctorates or the highest degree in their respective field. U.S. News & World Report regularly ranks Regis as a top school in the West and recently earned the #25 spot out of 573 universities. Regis also boasts a beautiful 2,500-seat fieldhouse that, among many amenities, has a varsity-only weight room and a spacious conference room for its 11 varsity sports. <br>Point Guard Julie Jestus is one of the many individual success stories. Says Coach Raunig,  Julie was quite a site at first in the weight room. She could only last 10 minutes in a game but by her senior year she averaged 35 minutes a game. Julie was named our conference tournament MVP. She was also our leading scorer and led the conference in assists. <br> Keely O Dell, a junior last season, could only Bench 70, Squat 135 and Clean 95 pounds as a freshman. Now she can Bench 145, Squat 245 and Clean 130 pounds. Keely led our team in free throw attempts and was a 74% free throw shooter with an 11-point scoring average. <br> Rachel Caliga led our team in field goal percentage (58%). She was our starting post player at only 5-10 but she was so strong that people could not move her. Another one of our transfers is Kristina Vengryte from Lithuania. She is 6-2 and will play a vital role on next year s team. <br>Says Kristina,  I like lifting weights. I don t think it makes you unfeminine at all. I disagree that weights are for men only. For me, it has made me stronger and not with too much muscle. I break records every workout and I think I take care of my body very well. Kristina takes vitamins and drinks water all the time. She never drinks sodas and eats a lot of salads that also have a meat of some kind.<br>Rachel believes that the issue of women lifting is not relevant these days. Julie Jestus concurs,  I m not too concerned. It s accepted by athletes and non-athletes. <br>Rachel just laughed,  Sometimes it s more fun to be stronger than the guys. Julie remembered that because of her lack of experience that she was a little intimidated by lifting at first but after the first week that all ended. The opposite was true of Rachel as she grew up with free weights.<br>Everyone on the team loves
