The people of Janesville provided both high schools with outstanding facilities. The following people and businesses listed below donated funds to equip the weight rooms at Parker and Craig. Staff and students are most thankful for the facilities.

Students who use the weight room before school [6:15 AM] and after school on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday must come dressed in T-Shirts, shorts, or sweat suits. A routine is followed that streesses safety and proper spotting during lifts. Students work in groups of 3 and follow a set workout which includes warmups, speed and footwork drills, lifting and post lifting abdomidable exercises following by a group stretch. Each student is expected to keep a record of all their workouts.

Spotting is crucial to the safety of a lift workout. In addition the spotter can help 'coach' the lifter and give feedback on the mechanics of the lift.


The Spirit Of Lifting Lives On With Alumni
2010 Parker graduate Jacob Henry [right] displays his work ethic that was developed in his four years of lifting at Parker. Jacob and twin brother Justin were members of the football teams at Parker and even though they are now alumni they continue to lift. Jacob's grimace was for effect! {;-).
