OAKLAND, Calif. - An eighth-grader from Madison Park Academy in Oakland recently dominated the USA Weightlifting national competition put on by the committee responsible for sending the U.S. team to the Olympics.
Seth Evans was deemed a champion and one of the nation s strongest 13-year-olds, winning both weightlifting events at the competition held in Detroit last weekend. I won snatch, I won clean and jerk, and I won the overall medal, he said.
Evans first found his love for weightlifting at 11 years old at the Speed Power Strength Gym near Fruitvale. Mike Jenkins, the owner of the gym and Evans coach, said Evans caused quite the commotion when he went out with the heaviest weights in his age division.
