Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Soldotna High sophmore National winner goes World...

Just a really neat start for an awesome young lady. Hope she does well!





My name is Robin Johnson. I am a 16 year old sophomore at Soldotna High School in Soldotna, Alaska. Last summer I competed in Aurora, Colorado at the Raw National Power-lifting Competition and on that day, I achieved something that most individuals never get to experience. I broke the American back squat, bench, and overall total records; I accumulated a total of 743.5 pounds; I back squatted 286.5 pounds, benched 149 pounds, and dead-lifted 308 pounds.

Amazingly that day I became the strongest sub junior girl in the entire nation from ages 14-19 in the weight class of 158 pounds at the largest power-lifting meet in history. It didn’t stop there. I was then invited to represent our country at the 2015 Raw World Championship that will be held this June in Salo, Finland. Each weight class gets a representative, and I will be the representative of the 158 pound sub junior division.

I’ve been training power-lifting very seriously and I will be very proud to represent my country on a World level competition in which I believe I can be the strongest 14-19 year old female in the world.

This sport has a tremendous impact on the formation of my character, teaching me to be focused, dedicated, honest, and generous with my time and talents. Living in a small town in Alaska can be challenging, especially for teenagers, for this reason I strive to advocate for teen's health in my community.

I value the importance of education, and for this reason in spite of the long hours dedicated to my training, I am also able to maintain a good GPA (3.6).

Although my family has been very supportive in my achievements, great expenses are associated with the participation to this world level competition, and we are not able to afford all of them on our own. For this reason any monetary contribution would be greatly appreciated since they will allow me to compete in this world championship representing the United States of America.

The estimate cost of this trip will be over ten thousands dollars, which will cover plane tickets, hotel , food, transportation, and competition registration.

USAPL ( USA Power-lifting) has a “Designated Beneficiary” program where donations are tax deductible.

Any contribution will be tremendously appreciated. Thank you very much for your support.

Sincerely,

Robin Johnson

Is she available as a packer?

Thats a good enough essay, to get me to chip in. Way to go!

TFF! You made me spit tea on the keyboard.

Mr Practical today I see.

We donate a ticket back to the Troopers Special Olympics thing every year. Been doing it so long that when they call we just tell em to stop the spieland send us a ticket. Saves lots of time for us both - they have both addresses on file.

At least $100 for this gal...

Telling that you would be asking... while "ponying up" equine overhead...

Well, you and Mark can GF each other!

Believe it or not, there are a few places I won't ride a nag.

If you got out of the car, Riley could have showed you one of them last fall.

Hint there!


PS---How was the fishin?

Always thinking!

How ya feeling?

I'm feeling great now.
I sure am glad winter is slinking out the door. Couldn't come fast enough.
You ever pick up a 44 mag?

P.S. Like Jeff said above; her essay and your brilliant comment convinced me, I donated to her fund. I wonder if they'll understand the accompanying note that read "For your packing adventures".

Hey guys, we need to revive this and help this young Lady.
