We use these results, along with our sprint test to determine our "strength and conditioning athlete of the year". Each upperclassman is given personal goals to obtain upon returning in the fall. We have set up a point system to award the athletes for reaching or exceeding their personal goals. The athlete who aquires the most points is the athlete of the year. We also award the most impressive freshman lifter with a "Best Newcomer" award.
