Weightlifting is Joseph Blackshear’s favorite sport. And the Baker senior is pretty good at it as well after sweeping the Olympic and traditional titles in the 199-lbs. weight class at the District 1-1A meet last Wednesday at Baker.
“It means a lot to me to be able to win this in my final year,” Blackshear said. “I started lifting when I was a freshman, and my coach told me that the sky was the limit for me. I tried as hard as I could to get to this point by practicing whenever I got the opportunity to do so.”
