Maihalya Reeves is a four-time state weightlifting champion and she has no plan to stop anytime soon. She holds several records on the state and national levels.
She broke her first record at 15, bench-pressing 365 pounds, and she continues to break her own record every year.Working out every day, sometimes twice a day, Reeves wants the record to be as high as it can be so girls in high school can have the challenge to have something to beat.Griffis considers their relationship as a father-daughter relationship since it began in the fifth grade.
“When I’m having a bad day in the gym, he let me know it is like a dad should,” Reeves said. “He let me know what I’m doing wrong and what I need to do better.”Reeves and the rest of the Bradford County girl’s weightlifting team have brought recognition to the county and the sport. “We have got so much more participation,” Griffis said. “The number is growing up as far as girls getting stronger. They are breaking records every year.”“If y’all want to get out of your shell, feel better about yourself, do it because it would be the best thing ever,” Reeves said.
Reeves will compete at nationals in June and she hopes to be the first female ever to bench 405 pounds or something close to it.
