Weightlift titlists
bolstering sport
By RICK STARR
Assistant Sports Editor
Until recently there had been a certain measure of ridicule
and disdain reserved for weightmen and bodybuilders. In the
past weightlifting meets and physique contests had been
relegated to the same level as beauty contests.
However in the past decade, due in large part to the efforts
of the AAU, that image of weightlifting has rapidly changed,
The sport has gotten away from the image of exhibitionism
and is no longer thought of as a frivolous social phenomenon.
Weightlifting has become a serious and highly competitive
sport. Witness as evidence the growth of the Penn State
Weightlifting Club.
The Lion weight club won its first national title on March
18th when Penn State’s five representatives captured the
team honors in the National Collegiate Weightlifting
Championships at York.
The Lion lifters came up with 30 points, outdistancing
Florida Tech and Millersville.
Four years ago the Lions didn’t even send a representative
to the meet. But starting in 1971 the club has been competing
annually and last month it sent a squad of five men.
Besides the increase in the number of Lions attending, the
meet saw the field grow twice as large as last year’s. Some of
the other schools represented included lowa State,
Louisiana State, Maryland, Michigan State, Pitt, Santa
Clara, Navy and even Vassar.
According to club member Richard Burkhart, the other
teams had better individual lifters but Penn State had the
better balance.
Representing Penn State in the meet were Frank Keller
(132), Burkhart (165), Jim Pericaud (181), John Schofield
(198) and Bill Stillwell (superheavyweight).
Keller, a senior, took a surprising sixth in his division
considering he had started lifting only one and a half months
before the Nationals.
Burkhart, a junior who has been lifting for two years,
placed fourth in his category, one spot lower than his finish in
last year's meet. Pericaud was seventh and Schofield fourth
in their respective divisions. Schofield had to contend with
Olympian Phillip Grippaldi in his division.
Stillwell, primarily a power lifter, competed in his first
sanctioned Olympic meet and placed fourth.
Comprised of more than 80 members, the club offers
competition to all club members who have not won a meet.
The club gets together at the beginning of each term and
then each of its three groups begin working on their own. In
addition to their intercollegiate competition, the weight club
holds demonstrations and answers questions in the Power
and Olympic divisions for Penn State weightlifting Ph. Ed.
classes at the end of each term.
