I didn't think I'd do very well. You should have seen me when I started. It was pretty ugly, laughed Whitney.  But I've worked at it. It's not something that has come easy. <br>One of Whitney's major goals is to qualify for next year's collegiate national meet. She currently has a 67.5 Clean and Jerk and a 45 kg Snatch for a total for 112.5 kilos (247 pounds). Whitney needs only 7.5 more kilos to qualify.<br>Coach Cross says,  She'll get there if she wants it bad enough. Whitney competes regularly in St. Joseph, Missouri which is a national hot bed for Olympic lifting. Whitney praised,  Wes Barnett (national champion) and Dennis Snethen have helped greatly. I'd like to give them credit. <br>Whitney lifts twice per week during her softball season and states with conviction,  You are not going to get big muscles from the way I train. I've lost body fat and gained muscle. My clothes are not as tight and I'm faster and a lot stronger and more flexible. I believe I have improved my looks through lifting. I just want to hit them over the fence and I want to gun'em at home. That's the best feeling. <br>Whitney is majoring in athletic training and wants to be a strength coach.  Coach Cross has built my confidence. He threw me into coaching here with some of our athletes and at clinics. I've really enjoyed it. <br>Coach Kennard said,  Whitney is a 3.1 student. She always studies on the bus when we travel. Whitney is serious.<br>Whitney believes the spiritual side of life is important and one should always keep trying to progress.  My family is so important, reflected Whitney.  My mother and father are still together and that has brought stability and security. They provided a strong work ethic growing up on a farm. Also, here at MNU we have chapel service twice a week in the morning. We have an FCA chapter. With our dorm life we have devotion once a week and Wednesday we have a church service.<br> Being on the softball team is really great because we have bible study. It's also a timee get to share our feelings. We develop a bond and just want to stick together. We also have a team chaplain that is with us before games. On Sunday, of course, we have a number of services. <br>MidAmerica Nazarene University was founded in 1966 and is a comprehensive liberal arts school. It seeks to transform students for a life of service and leadership. The university is also committed to serving the church and its global mission.
