Athletic Lab Weightlifting Team‘s Eva Young was recently recognized as one of the “strongest high school athletes in America” by USA Weightlifting.

This fall, high school athletes from every state and weight class were invited to participate in the “High School Throwdown.” The annual event is put on by USA Weightlifting and sponsored by Caffeine & Kilos. The free virtual event allowed athletes – ages 13 to 18 of any weight class. The competition was designed to measure how high school athletes measured up against their peers in the weight room. Athletes contested the Bench Press, the Back Squat, and a Full or Power Clean. The winner of each division was the athlete with the highest combined weight lifted. Athletic Lab Weightlifting Team’s Eva Young won the girls 55kg class.
