Lifting for Grace


By Ben Preston: On March 11th, three high schools met at the DHS weight room for the Lifting for Gracie competition. Darien, Brian McMahon, and Weston high schools met to raise money for The RE, Rasmussen’s Encephalitis, Children’s Project. The four lifting categories were Bench Press, Squat, Clean, and the Iron Man Club. Wave football was able to raise $13,000 for the charity while also taking home 24 individual trophies and the overall team trophy for the Lift-A -Thon. Darien put up 10,910 pounds, Brien McMahon 10,270 pounds, and Weston 9,235 pounds.
