The Coffee High School Olympic weightlifting team returns from the youth national championships in Anaheim, California, with one national champion, one national runner-up, three medalists in individual lifts, and a team national title.

 

Eight lifters – Range Robinson, Brady Shook, Zean Preston, Will Lott, Sultan Cooper, Jake Lindsey, Dane Rish, and Arlis Sutton – made the cross country trip to compete against the nation’s best youth Olympic lifters. Range Robinson won a national title in the 13&U 44 kilogram division while Brady Shook took silver in the 13&U 73 kilogram group. Robinson medaled in both the snatch, clean and jerk, and took gold in the overall. Shook won gold in the clean and jerk and took silver in the overall. Sutton won bronze in the clean and jerk. He competed in the 16-17 96 kilo division.

 

Team Divergent, of which the Coffee team is a part, accumulated enough points to win the overall team national championship. Divergent finished as 13&U champions, 14-15 champions, 16-17 runner-up, and overall men’s champion.
