Varsity Kansas - The Blog

by joanna

Every once in a while the topic of what’s a sport comes up. It usually mentions cheerleading and bowling, others might throw in auto racing or golf.

I bring up weight lifting because Heights held the Class 6A weight lifting championships on Saturday. It’s not a KSHSAA-sponsored event, but it’s been going on for years. Heights AD Rick Wheeler said he’s been involved since the mid-1990s.

Now I think that it’s a sport. I have no problem with it.

I typed in the top finishers for the boys and girls sides on each event, as well as the overall winner.
