The fourth turn was designed for people who are quick, but not explosive. Being explosive is talent." Kuusela is a former BYU All-American hammer thrower himself.<br>Since Amy picked up the hammer in 1996 she has only gotten better. It is amazing that Amy has only been throwing the hammer for such a short time and is doing so awesome. This last year she placed second ihat the future holds for this no-excuses linebacker from Bowling Green, no one can say for sure. But odds are, Mitch Hewitt will continue to come out a winner. visit to Harvard, I was asking questions of persons who were on the cutting edge of the research they were doing---I was really drawn to that, says Brenda. When I visited, the thing that people kept telling me was,  You ll have new roommates, and every day you ll learn something amazing that they ve done. And I just thought that would be one of the greatest things I could get out of college---the interaction with so many incredible people. You can be inspired so much by their energy. <br>Lindsay majored in mechanical engineering.  I decided in high scool that I wanted a degree in engineering so that I could pursue a career in prosthetic design. I figured that if I took an athletic scholarship, I would be forced to focus primarily on track. Engineering is a very difficult major, so my first thought was to find an engineering program that suited me, and then make my final choice based on the school s athletic program. Another important consideration was that my parents have always encouraged Brenda and me to pursue an academic career above all else, so when the opportunity to attend an Ivy League school presented itself, I couldn t even conside another alternative. During my visit to Brown I fell in love with the campus and the people I met. It was the most wonderful environment I had ever been in---I felt so at home there. On my recruiting trip a student said,  Brown is a microcosm of what the world could be like if we could all just get alon.<br>Considering that in 1972, schools had virtually no organized female sort programs, Title IX would take many years to put into effect. As late as the 1970s, girls' sports not only were neglected, they were often actived from heavy weight lifting and incorporating it into throwing the 8.8 pound ball they call the hammer.<br>Amy loves to explode on the weights. Her favorite exercise is the power clean. Her best is 253 lbs.! Since her attention is focused on the hammer throw she doesn't bench press, but she has done 275 lbs.<br>Many athletes in this day and age have stumbled across road blocks in their lives, yet managed to overcome these trials to be labeled champions. Perhaps the rough and rocky road they have been forced to walk is what polished them into first class, fine tuned athletes. Amy is an athlete that has had to work hard to overcome adversity. When Amy was in high school her parents divorced. As we talked about overcoming hardships and coping with negative aspects in life, Amy commented by saying, "Everyone has obstacles and you can make them to be as big as you want, it's just the way you go about handling them. The important thing is how you react and deal with the problems, that's what makes you a better person. I could have used my Dad's drinking problem and my parent's divorce as an excuse not to be happy and accomplish my goals, but I didn't. Some people choose to use negative things like this as a crutch to leangŖ$5G<12oUۮQ4+1#L*v-`jrR;|;$ U@~,MBHx:bL*P xT%M|RH:}9N[P}M~@I$Ivjxއ r+Q͕|O/d'Z+ȩ'p[(zdN=|(rK)@C6X*P֜f%rɽn דRk_`>on 5\2'6>"MOceVubz OjgI9ФcIdfa%3H, JPS'X4˂#Q&\Bff^I5(%{p@Z%F"n_dsFޝY[ y"ƥ8b^_6NU]0ӈ>'rkޛ˄]@D&^ YYS}3>[J&U {JFvXee r3^Ҿe+BkRXKZ/ NvjʵI9@4R<0ԥ7*Տ HFAj>hGӓ[2 %,N䬛* 9N^cܐLhPza]jscLsM"ptW ^ե(3ei{xv"e٘Q32$.G֜U̷MD4 ~k)!%(Ha%9}sM~V@Pw_`I5URAbT '/)"*PkJRVJV5s tީCJէӾo{ bFt]ISrC_T(RM}to y$];:s(Ȑz/7x-ݗ sΛvե˸kƻ2lMzC94>{O_0՗BY{L#.q/JUH鏉>xC%~fE5翀i 9LSeH?2Ywn2W~A}R2xEXأ02\̲py $1좁~,>oIF(݉}ttz"SA['LuR }#Zěy)VoQҵ_*Dy( `Z،]R<1CEc|&E+)/ %|Gub((?= gEw2o + FGfy% }+pJ}'/VUUC{9ҞS(@@:o7*TP=8*KTVj-Q -P|`nڀ|BGR7pW VcLP2(@? ڥk" TH >'GJ
