The Marion Strength Program, led by Mr. Jacob VonBerge, meets before school with a mission to cultivate a supportive and dynamic environment where students challenge and uplift one another while striving for continuous improvement, enhanced strength, and increased speed. To further help internally motivate students a Strength Club Board has been implemented to inspire and acknowledge individuals dedicated to ongoing progress.
To secure a recognition on the Club Board, students meticulously record their maximum lifts in three key exercises: bench press, squat, and deadlift. The cumulative total of these lifts determines their eligibility for recognition. With separate classes tailored to boys and girls, the program accommodates diverse strength levels and aspirations. Boys' classes span from 500 to 1,000 pounds, while girls' classes range from 400 to 900 pounds.
When students achieve a place on the Club Board or advance based on their lifting achievements, they are rewarded with a T-shirt, acknowledging their remarkable progress. The Marion School District extends extreme gratitude to Nugen Energy for generously sponsoring the Club Board and facilitating the provision of recognition shirts. Since its inception in 2023, the Marion Strength Program has yielded remarkable outcomes for both students and athletes alike.
This success story owes much to the invaluable support of our donors, whose contributions have helped fund the new equipment for our weight room. To our generous donors, we extend our sincerest appreciation and gratitude for their pivotal role in nurturing the growth and efficacy of our program, students, and school!
