? SECTION 2 - PAGE 10 - PLA1NDEALER - FRIDAY, MARCH 16. 1984 sports JOHNSBURG from page 12 points. In the five areas of com­ petition, the Skyhawks lifters claimed first place in four of the weight categories. In the under 125 pounds, Brian Hauck; in the 126-150 pounds Mark Jones of Tiskilwa took first, and Scott Tvaroh'of Johnsburg took second. In the 151-175 pound category Jerry Harker; in the 176-200 pounds Jimmy Bentz; and in the heavy weight division Bob Bentz took first place. Randy Oberembt, program coordinator, explained how the meet was conducted. "Each lifter is allowed seven lifts, with two attempts in the bench press, the dead lift and the squat. At the end of the day the athletes are allowed to choose one ad­ ditional lift, where they can increase their last lift weight to improve their score." Powerlifting is the type of year-round weightlifting program offered to Johnsburg athletes. Oberembt explained the goal of powerlifting. "Through the powerlifting program we hope to provide a challenge to the athletes, and assist the athletes in improving their own athletic abilities in their sport." Oberembt also added that although cardio-vascular fitness and agility are also important, most of the individual sports fit their programs to concentrate on those aspects. However, powerlifting is an opportunity for the individual athletes to build their body strength (which must be developed over a long period of time) and improve their abilities in their sports whether it is track, basketball, or softball. Oberembt also pointed out that while most of the athletes who compete in powerlifting are boys, Johnsburg did have one girl competitor. "Candi Kilcoyne competed for the Skyhawks in the powerlifting competition, and did a good job Dn her bench press." "I felt really good about the way the day and the competition went," said Oberembt. "Without our athletes doing the work, we couldn't have had such success. The athletes were definitely the key. "Johnsburg's powerlifting program is special," said Oberembt. "Our administration allows us to offer a 12 month athletic facility which promotes strong athletes who lift weights, not just weight lifters. However, if we have students who do not participate in sports, but who STAFF PHOTO-WAYNI OAYIOHO Johnsburg's Jim Bentz broke a school record with a lift of 330 pounds during last Saturday's power lifting meet at Johnsburg High School. still want to lift weights they are also welcome.

MV» "JAW BACK MAM McHENRY ILLINOIS McHENRY. ILLINOIS nttusi. RICHMOND, ILLINOIS M. t?MMI Your Country Companies Agents. Insurance and Investment Services Every coach dreams of having a player like Craig Hill - a natural athelete who wants to win badly. All the 6-foot junior knew was his team had to beat Woodstock, and he was going to do everything in his power so that would happen. McHenry ended up losing, but it wasn't because of Hill's effort. He scored 24 points and dished out six assists. Added to that was the 16 points he scored against Cary-Grove two nights before. That's not a bad performance for somebody who only had a 5.5 scoring average coming into the contest. "What some last two games the kid had," said Ludwig. "He came out with 40 points, eight recoveries (steals) and seven rebounds. "Those last few games, golly, his touch was there, his con­ fidence was there - if he keeps that he will have a great season next year." Craig, the son of Darrel and Elaine Hill, finished the season with 162 points points, for a 6.5 scoring average. He shot 39 percent from the field and 55 percent from the free throw line. One of the two areas Ludwig was impressed with, however, was the assists and turnovers. Hill dished out 78 assists for the season and only committed 47 turnovers. Ludwig is impressed., with Hill's late performanc ability, but he had to be^ im­ pressed enough to start along with Scott Freund and tjat Dunne in the back court. Lud- Craig Hill ATHLETE of the week wig, in the past, has never started a junior-laden back- court. The dividends of that decision he made at the beginning of the year is a sure bet to pay off next season when all three will be seniors. "He did real well. He im­ proved as the year went on," said Ludwig. "He plays the same no matter if it's practice or a game. His attitude is just super. If you could say that about every kid you would have something. Several of HiU>-f5bints against Woodstocfc^efime on a baseline basket. He said the move wasn't something he had worked on before the game or a favorite move, it was just a move that was working that typical night.
