Update # 8 - Fall 2000

The players returned to camp for 2 weeks of pre-season training, and we did preliminary testing on the first day of camp. Our returners did a one rep max clean + jerk, a front squat, and our 40/20 yard sprint test. In this test, we took their spring 40/20 time, and added 0.5 (40) or 0.3 (20) to the total. They then had to run 10 sprints, completing each under the adjusted time. Each player had 30 seconds of rest between sprints. Here are some of the top veteran performances:
Name Position  Clean & Jerk Front Squat
Rich Armitt DB 110 kgs. 155 kgs.
Mike Biancella LB 110 kgs. 140 kgs.
Brian McCall  TE 120 kgs. 150 kgs.
Doug McNicholas DL 120 kgs. 140 kgs.
Tom Pouliot LB 132.5 kgs. 185 kgs. (B)
Jamie Strauss OL 130 kgs. 160 kgs.
Our rookies also did a beginner's test. They have not yet been taught to clean & jerk or front squat, so they were tested in a back squat and a flat bench press. They had the same sprint test as the veterans, above. Here are some of the standouts:
Name Position Back Squat Bench Press
Chris Carmen  DL 295 lbs. 255 lbs.
Chris Fajardo LB 315 lbs. 275 lbs.
Ken Field OL 355 lbs. 315 lbs.
Mike Filosa DL 335 lbs. 295 lbs.
Paul Koontz  OL 305 lbs. 285 lbs.

We expect great things from this class once they are taught how to lift properly!
