Weightlifting scholarships for women

March 25, 2008

Krista,

One of our, (Team Southern California, Mike Burgener, Head Coach, USAW

Regional Training Center), Jr. National Champion female Weightlifters

received a scholarship to Northern Arizona University. She also had a

4.0 GPA, a very high SAT and graduated from Mater Dei High in Santa

Ana, CA., one of the top academic and athletic prep schools in the

country. There were several colleges that had Weightlifting

scholarships available when I was involved in helping prep athletes

get scholarships some years ago. I do not know what's changed since then.
