At the end of each week the
staff votes a lifter of the week for the player, who had the best overall
effort, and he gets 10 points, and up to three honorable mentions that will get
5 points each to go along with being recognized for their achievements.
LIFTER OF THE WEEK
Essentially
how the athletes earn Lifter of the Week is
based on the total
amount of points they earn
points for the week. They earn points by having good workouts, doing extra
lifts, and winning competitions. When there are ties the staff votes on who
they think deserves the honor the most. They
try to stay consistent in how they award the honor as to prevent bias.
They are graded
daily on lifting intensity, attitude, leadership, motivation, etc. The athletes
can earn a point or subtract a point based on performance within each of these
parameters. If an athlete misses a required session it is minus 10 points. If
an athlete is late for a required session it is minus 5 points. Some
subjectivity is taken into account if someone that does not usually exemplify
positive qualities has a great week. Despite total points, they might be
considered for a runner up position.
The players
who had the best overall effort for weeks 1-5 are the following:

Cameron Perkins
(+10) Points – (5’10-180) - A Fifth year senior who earned a spot as a
walk-on in 2007. Last summer he ran a sub 4.5-40, and had a 3.2% body.
That has carried over this year as he continues to display a great work ethic
and effort in the weight room. He's becoming Ole faithful after getting honorable mention
last week and
has earned the top spot of all lifters for week 7. |

Mike Lanaris
(+5) Points – (6’1-228), the redshirt freshman LB came in last summer
and started tearing it up in the weight room, and impressed the coaches
by setting
an example of great work ethic, and
is one of the
Bulls younger role
models in the weight room.
He
continues to show his dedication
through hard work, earning LOW in week 7, and is pushing hard for one of
the starting roster spots. |

Jeremiah Warren (+5)
Points (6’5-325) – The sophomore OG continues to improve through hard
work off the field. He comes in for extra work-outs, and is one of the
strongest linemen. Last year he
lost 14 pounds of fat, increased his vertical by 1 ½ inches,
his broad jump by 2 ¾ inches, and his bench by 20 pounds. He
has built off that this winter, and this is the second time that he's
made the list after earning Honorable mention in week 4, and is pushing
for a starting OL spot. |
