Florida Weightlifting is Everywhere!
The busy part of the year for Florida
Weightlifting is the first 6 months, ending with a bang in the Summer.
No other month is this more true than June. Why? Well,
look below:
June 13 is the annual Sunshine State
Games. At this annual competition, we average about 100 lifters
all competing on just one
day. Please visit our
calendar page for more details.
June 19-21, just one week after one of
the largest state meets in Florida is the annual Schoolage National Championships.
This year the competition is being held in Georgia. As of right now, Florida
is sending over 30 athletes representing 5 teams. Now that's a good
showing!
While the above two meets are occurring, 4 of
our own FWF members will be overseas at the Jr. World Championships
in Romania. They leave June 12 (the day before Sunshines State Games)
and return June 22 (the day after the Schoolage National Championships).
Please join us in wishing our 4 U.S. Team Members good luck. They are:

Last month we deviated from the norm and
recognized a coach. This month we are going back to acknowledging
the achievements of athletes, who are the core of any sport. And at
the core of her team is Robin Feuerman.
Robin has come a long way in a short period
of time. We'll first take you to her early days as an 8th grade
Basketball player. She was in attendance during a weightlifting
exhibition held by her future coach, Danny Camargo. It intrigued her
enough to join the beginners program offered by Coach Camargo. This
instructional class not only introduced Olympic Weightlifting but covered
general fitness and exercise. It took Robin only 2 sessions of
classes to transfer to the competition team. Soon she entered the
weight room at her high school (Lake Brantley High School in Altamonte
Springs, FL) still dedicated to basketball.
