The Starr s Mill program was in place and running before they had a school facility. Starr s Mill head football coach, Mike Earwood ordered weight training equipmnt and had it delivered to Whitewater where he operated his summer strength and conditioning program. The desire to improve athletes remains a high priority at Starr s Mill. The coaches, athletes, and parents moved all the strength and conditioning equipment six times before housing a permanent location for their program. This desire to attain strength, power, speed and agility is what Coach Vena seeks to instill in his athletes.<br>Whitewater s facility transformed from classrooms to bare walls to the achievement of a dream through hard work and determination. Whitewater Middle School has demonstrated that with the proper amount of effort and perseverance, Upper Limit success can be accomplished.<br><br><br>__________<br><br><br> Students who consistently participate in the weight training program have made physical improvements. Students need the opportunity to workout in the weight room on a regular basis.  Coach Vena even faster than I was before, says David. He also remarks that the extra strength helped his blocking and enabled him to handle press coverage from the cornerbacks better than he had been able to do when he wing on the win, Coach King said,  When I think about these kids in the future, I will remember a group of unselfish athletes. That s a characteristic that title teams have. Jesse Brown, Josh Roberts and Ty Salsbery were all named All-State. <br><br><br>BOYS BASKETBALL<br><br>Malta s Boys Basketball team won the state title in 1996 and 1998. Coach Bernie Wasser taught his players what it takes to become champions. His team listened and played as a unit. Through a lot of hard work, they rose to the top. All-State key player, RJ Tollefson, led the Mustangs in their quest to be the best. <br><br>CONCLUSION<br><br>What is the key to Malta s high level of achievement? Simply put, all athletes, regardless of sport, train on the same program. The remarkable thing about this successful athletic program is that most of the great competitors are three-sport athletes. For example, in wrestling, Lance Spencer placed third in state last year in the 189-pound class and also ran a leg on the 1,600-meter relay team that won the state title. All-State quarterback, Cody Oxarart, helped win a state championship in football and basketball and was also on the 1,600-meter relay track team that won state. What an awesome accomplishment to be able to call yourself a three-sport state champion! LeeAnn Pekovitch has achieved All-State status in track, volleybaa_Wp;}+8o[Z+ԉh[܎kŸ TIis sAD܆ B =Ǡjg ,#ץ. zS|֐JOθ?jp7N7zAh_ԁtH;zbl61ڇa]X^&aSƼ ژnG#i59>dL̬sdW,C?t=ڸzY^ 0OMo_XuïOi^#Ԛ4XzQ7)F󞂹Fn^R抝٨A@j9R#sryhܠIcTltj} {l 'o{|ɿ: ǔt|ç2I⼛g%zIÏM~V7Y $Ax=@_ јT@ ٞ2@%[Z2is*Cjr.󗘬4XvIHĽ@': ^{ؤ7e`w,7zsHŌ#nU *^٦>mTlyG1܄jrujSiks w8s.5.bc7oY'e.`Czf'鷹ɒQij%PaCጚ]F5XaehR{O0ӸjInJojoV&E4wޟqW$ @ɽdp]?#MG˝JSizyI%I9Uzne}|X{y] 3G2T v؃ # ~IH12kKT9MM _=:x4]>9$8faS9d[F2gb S} ~bC2VHCM%?1QDwzs4)Ѻ]ݤ'%ov;`RKm>hl\F͸4%NC}@1"N? 5OIᣑcjFC21H2<Є7˒"/%F \"9A1Ji jͫlږwR$=Gy@zb5տ6Lr+?ULS i?m"򮢳sc@:t# ZFz\_hم Aڕmon-'֙ED)+^~m=tV .DrZK2_K񴢌 dK^L3> S\;Ռ1۵L5hR4;)=e z828& 4"5I?7t:x៙X5Y&?PaW\ІZj@mkԂ@$lpNV]@ѕjm~ÔP1v̸Ip&"; ˡP7 CU{n"-N!Nŗ2(zdUddjmFf#M}u_N!hܲ&0.K"*S(D1zg&)pcv I*ǯJETF=2n rM-BӯCe-܅V#y-gDm*Kgs8]rC%,/XU"ر_Ces14#RsM[u )Ϊ?/ͷ_Tp:|p]Y||>n"21cN
