Feathers Up, KJ and Hunter!
Congratulations to KJ Dozier and Hunter Reid for their impressive performances at the Tennessee State Special Olympics held at Lipscomb University! KJ took home 1st place in the 83 kg weight class for bench press, deadlift, and total weight lifted. Hunter also had an outstanding showing, earning 2nd place in the bench press and 1st place in the deadlift and total weight categories for the 74 kg weight class.
