Die lift-a-thon worked like this: participants went out
pot people to pledge money, based on the amount of
weight the hlter could lilt. There were two categories
of lifters - strength athletes and endurance athletes.
Strength athletes bench-pressed (he maximum amount
they could during one attempt. People pledged a certain
amount of money per pound for these athletes.
Fndurance athletes bench-pressed 40 percent of their
body weight as many times as they could. These athletes
collected pledges based oa their number of repetitions.
Betty Sellman, a UNL senior, bench-pressed 150
pounds. Sellman obtained pledges from several football
players, as well as assistant coach Gene Huey. She said
her pledges would amount to "hundreds of dollars,"
"They probably didn't think I would lift that much,"
said the trim Sellman.
Several area high schools sent groups of lifters to the
lift-a-thon.
Kirk Eledge, strength coach at Gretna High School,
brought 1 1 students to the lift-a-thon. He estimated the
group raised $800 in pledge money.
Kent Stevens, an assistant strength coach at UNL,
coordinated the event. Stevens said 500 pledge forms
were sent to area high schools. He said it would be
impossible to estimate how much money was raised for
a couple of weeks.
The event was sponsored by the National Strength and
Conditioning Association. Stevens said the Nebraska
lift-a-thon was a "prototype" fund-raising event and that
future lift-a-thons would continue if this one was
successful.
