The Benefits of Throwing Heavy Implements
by Dane Miller

The Mental Edge

Garage Strength athletes had a successful weekend at the PIAA State Championship Meet. Berks county natives, Jocelen Ruth, Emily Stauffer, and Joe Mundell have shown that they can perform in the circle under any conditions. Dane Miller was a AA State Champion in shot put back in 2002 and coaching the throws remains his specialty.

Garage Strength athletes brought back three state titles, two silver medalists, and four top eight finishers.
