Accomplishments: Elnora has been competing at national weight lifting competitions for four years. This March, she competed at The Arnold Classic at The Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus, Ohio. The competition, founded by Arnold Schwarzenegger, features more than 60 events and hosts more than 20,000 athletes from more than 80 countries.

At The Arnold Classic, Elnora competed in two events, snatch and clean jerks, and placed second in her age and weight class. “The thing I love most about weight lifting is all the people I’m able to meet,” she said. “It’s also great to see where I stand with other girls my age around the country at competitions like this. I also love when my classmates and friends are able to come and cheer me on.”

Elnora spent time as a young girl watching her mom train as a weight lifter, and decided to follow in her footsteps. She competes whenever she can, usually every few months, depending on the location of the competitions. Elnora loves that weight lifting has shown her she can continue to get stronger and do better if she keeps up with her training consistently.

Activities: Elnora is a member of the Jaguar Rugby team and outside of school, she is a member of Pro Sports Performance Gym in Strongsville.
