I also knew that if we stayed with the fundamentals learned from BFS and Jim Brown, we d be very hard to stop. <br><br>Pride at the Podium<br><br>The club breezed through the regional meets, placing first in all but one. When the 2004 state meet finally arrived on March 12, anticipation was high as lifting began. More than 300 lifters were competing at this year s WHSPA State Meet, one of the largest in history.<br>On the first day Necedah crowned its first champion in 97-pound sophomore Stevie Cross, who totaled 530 pounds on her three lifts. The next was senior Amy Seebruck, who became two-time champion in the 105-pound bodyweight class. Audrey Karbowksi, at 114, finished the three-weight-class sweep by cranking out a 315 deadlift on the way to claiming her second individual state championship. Other girls making it to the podium were Andi Johnson, 123; Laura Bergh, 132; Katie Van Dusen, 142; and Sarah Manning, 165. <br>By the end of the competition for day one, the Necedah girls had scored an amazing 77 points and had locked up a second consecutive state title.  If you were to look at any of the girls we have, you d be amazed if I were to tell you they re powerlifters, comments Mach. <br>There was no rest in sight as the club headed next to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for the National High School meet. Audrey Karbowski won her second consecutive title, while Stevie Cross and Amy Seebruck each placed third in their divisions. With this excellent showing, the Necedah girls-andand a lot of the jumping workout would be occupied by sunbathing on the high jump pit," says Amy. She recalls one story of two German high jumpers who entered a competition in the 70s. When they found out that the meet was going to take several hours, they left the meet and went down to a local coffee shop and had a few cigarettes and several leisurely cups of coffee. Says Amy, "When they came back to the meet they found that they had misjudged the time and there was only one jumper left before them, so they had to warm up in a hurry. They ended up jumping pretty well because they were great natural talents, but these were athletes who really didn't take care of their bodies, and you wonder what they could have done if they had taken better care of themselves."<br>A major portion of Amy's training is the Olympic lifts, but she also performs several auxiliary lifts for the lower back, abs and the upper body. "It's important to keep the upper body strong for coordination," says Amy. "At the takeoff you really have to move the upper body--you can't just be a limp noodle." She also says it's important for jumpers to perform specialized exercises for their ankles. "You get a lot of power from your feet, and if your ankles are hurting you're going to suffer. I do all kinds of ankle strengthening, such as picking up sand and running on the toes to strengthen the arches, surgical tubing exercises, and rocker boards--I work on my ankles a lot."<br>For younger jumpers, Amy believes in the importance of being exposed to a variety of sports. "You learn a lot through other sports and through competition. It's just like your academic studies--you need to become a student of your sport and learn all there is about it. The high jump takes a lot of technique, but you can't stop there. You need to learn the mechanics, the physics and the psychology of the jump to really succeed."<br>Amy has given quite a bit of thought
