Coach's Remarks:
I have worked with Shannon for a year and four months now. In this short time she has medaled at three national events, set and briefly held an University American Record, been an alternate on the University World Team, and her current total is 4kg under the current Junior American Record (a Record that has been pushed up ~10kg in the past 12 months by two of the best youth/junior 48kg lifters in US history).Besides her exceptional accomplishments, Shannon always works hard inside and outside the gym. She does an exceptional job completing all of her assigned weightlifting training and she works just as hard in the classroom at West Chester University, this is shown by her extremely high GPA! Her hard work inside and outside the gym is a great example and provides a great example that many of her younger teammates look up to.Weight class: 48kgHeight: 4ft 11Started Weightlifting?
