The Olympic Sport Strength and Conditioning staff recently announced the top performers in the 2008-09 SuperRam and IronRam competitions. The top female SuperRam was Christine Knauer (softball) and the men's top performer was Milton Lyles (lacrosse). The results for the IronRam competition were identical to those of the SuperRam competition, with Knauer and Lyles garnering the top spots.
The SuperRam Team Awards were won by women's lacrosse and men's lacrosse.
Also of note this year were the record-breaking squats for both the men and the women and the record-breaking bench for the men. Matt Harvey (baseball) and Lyles both squatted 565 pounds, besting the previous record by five pounds. The men's bench press record was broken when Ziad Haddad (wrestling) pushed up 380 pounds.
On the women's side Lisa Norris (softball) broke the squat record by lifting 340 pounds.
