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:

 

FL Member FL Team U.S. Team Position
Daniel Camargo Altamonte Team Leader - USA
Tom Bennett Volusia County Head Women's Coach-USA
Sara Cowles Volusia County Athlete - 53kg - USA
Robin Feuerman Altamonte Athlete - 63kg - USA

As you can see, all Florida athletes and coaches will be spread out throughout our state, the country and the world.  Good luck everyone!

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.
