Baker High Athlete of the Week

The Baker Gators have started off strong for the girls’ weightlifting season. After not competing in the Gators’ first meet against Central, Adahline Burks returned to the bar to take on Northview. In her appearance, Burks topped the podium in both the Olympic and Traditional categories. Not only did she place first among the lifters in her weight class, but she did so by lifting 205 lbs. in Olympic and 215 lbs. in Traditional. Burks’ perseverance is what makes her a seasoned lifter for Baker, and is what has earned her this week’s Baker Athlete of the Week.
