Spring workouts wrapped up this week on the campus of Vermilion C.C. As a whole, the team worked very hard and everyone had significant improve in performance. For a few of the players this was the first opportunity to be in a structured weight training routine which included weight training, plyometrics, agilities, as well as physical conditioning.
A couple of the players really stood out as leaders in the weight room this spring, middle linebacker Ty Svenby (Medford, Mn.) and strong safety Abraham Felton (Memphis, Tn.). Ty set personal records in the bench (365 lbs.) and also in the squat (515 lbs) as well as improving his athleticism through vigorous work in plyometrics and agility training. Ty only missed one workout this spring. His absence was due to his recognition at a scholarship banquet in which he received a scholarship for next year for his dedication to his academics. Ty is truly the picture of what a student athlete is at Vermilion. At this time Ty is the team leader in the classroom, sporting an impressive 3.7 grade point average.
The other stand out in Ironmen weight room this spring was Abraham Felton. Abraham, a starter for the Ironmen on defense in 2007, pushed his bench to an inspiring 335 pounds this spring. The reason Abraham had such success in the weight room this spring was his workman like attitude. Abraham was a true worker in the weight room and never missed a workout this spring for any reason. With his hard work and dedication continuing this summer he should be a force on defense this fall. Also it should be mentioned that Abraham had a great semester in the classroom and is anticipating a G.P.A. that is well over 3.0.
Each of these players are on track to finish up at V.C.C next year. Abraham is on track to finish his degree by December and Ty will finish his degree in May with honors. Both of these outstanding student-athletes are looking to continue on at four year university.
With the improvement this spring of the returning players and the solid recruiting class this Ironmen should be ready to compete to be one the top teams in the MCCC this fall.
