Powerlifting // New equipment

The weight room that has garnered 7 USA Powerlifting High School National Championships and 15 individual National Champions has received a bit of an upgrade. New to this season, two Power Lift Combo Power Racks were purchased and now serve as the primary equipment to prepare this year's lifters for competition. The new equipment was purchased from a local Iowa company, which is one of the premier suppliers of weight lifting equipment in the United States. They supply top universities (Iowa State, Nebraska, Ohio State), and now Woodward Academy, with top of the line equipment. This year's season continues into April where the team will travel to Denver, CO to compete in the USAPL High School National Championships.

In the Classroom - Video

After the break are two videos that provide you an inside look at some things that are going on in the classrooms of Woodward Academy. The first video looks at the Art Class that was at the time focusing on stamping with linoleum blocks. The second explains the basketball basics of dribbling, a part of a unit in physical education class. Each unit, the P.E. teachers focus on the fundamentals of sports before moving into class competition. Both videos were shot and edited by students in the Multimedia class. The goals behind the videos was to complete a project with the use of voice-over (V.O.). Check out the videos after the break.
