The first week in May Carter was able to participate in the Bingham Power lifting meet. It's several high schools that participate and it is mainly the football players who are in the power lifting programs at their respective schools. They compete in different weight classes similar to wrestling and Carter competed as a heavy weight. They had to do three different weight lifts: the bench press, squat and clean and they took the highest weight from each and added the total together. Alta's team took 2nd overall and the picture above is all the boys and the coaches that were there. Carter is in the back row kind of in the middle. The best part about this night is that in the individual competition Carter took 4th place overall!!!!! That is HUGE!! He has been working so hard and it's so wonderful to see him be successful! In case your wondering his total weight was 985 pounds! Crazy right! He was the only Sophomore to place in the heavy weight. Way to go buddy! And I just have to share that the next day he and I were talking about the meet and he told me that he knows that Heavenly Father helped him through it. During his bench press he was having a difficult time and got 2 scratches for lifting up his feet. He said he realized that he hadn't prayed before he started his bench press (which he always does before each lift), so with his last try he said a quick prayer and was able to reach the weight he needed to get. I am happy to see him including the Lord in all he does and I know he will continue to see success as long as he does that. Way to go Carter! We are SO proud of you!
