Weightlifters profiled
Job Hilliard will be a senior at Peabody-Burns High School in the fall. His goals for the year are to "get good grades and get strong."
His participation in the summer conditioning program will help him meet his goal for strength. He plans to play football and Coach Rob Holopirek notes that Hilliard has "great potential. He will contribute greatly to Warrior athletics next year."
Hilliard says football is his favorite sport and he enjoys the biceps work-out the most during the summer training.
His hobby is lifting weights. He also participates on the powerlifting team during the school year (and lists his other extracurricular activity as eating!)
He named Michael Unruh as the person he admires most because Unruh has been named "lifter of the week" and is a good team leader.
Conditioning coach Chris Young said, "Strong leadership is very evident in Job. He is continually motivating other lifters."
Hilliard is the son of Brenda and Gary Hilliard of Peabody.
