I was pleased to represent the county and get us up to the state forefront. It's been a great year, and I couldn't ask for anything more from these girls.

It is an individual sport. But I (preached) the team sport because these girls were like my little sisters. They were like a family.

Obviously, I've always wanted to teach (my athletes). Not to be police officers, but better athletes; but now, yes, I guess now I'm going to be a coach for the police department.

For her to pull it off on her last lift, in a weight class she's never lifted in, that's one of those stories that I'll just never forget. Neither will probably anybody on our team.

It's just a testament to the kind of athlete she is.

It has improved significantly. This has been an issue over the years. We have tightened up the controls.
