My School Sport: Steve Lewis

Steve Lewis, Commonwealth Games pole-vault silver medallist, talks schooldays, sport and ‘Superstardom’

Where did you go to school, and was sport an important part of school life?

I went to Holden Lane High School, in Stoke-on-Trent, which became a specialist sports college when I was there.

Sport for me was my school life. It consumed everything. Any team that was going, I was the first to sign up.

Did you excel at other sports?

My dad got me into gymnastics, aged five, which gave me good motor skills, great hand-eye co-ordination, spatial awareness and good balance. I played all the core sports for the school – swimming, tennis, badminton, hockey, football and basketball.

Ohio Vaulter wins intense fitness competition

 Christine Connors was understandably apprehensive when she arrived in Columbus, Ohio, in March for the Arnold Sports Festival’s first-ever Kurt Angle World Teen Championships, an intense fitness competition for high-school athletes.

“I was pretty nervous at first,” the 18-year-old Westmont Hilltop senior said. “I didn’t think I’d have a chance. I was thinking there would be huge, gigantic girls there.

“When I found out I got the overall championship, I was like, ‘Holy crap.’ It’s awesome.”

Connors, the daughter of Mark and Kim Connors of Southmont, said she earned a $5,000 scholarship for finishing first among the eight to 10 girls in the female side of the competition.

The athletes were tested in five categories:

• Bench press. The teenagers had a minute to complete as many bench presses as possible using 70 percent of their body weight.

• Pull-ups. As many pull-ups as possible in a minute.

• Kettlebell press. The athletes had a minute to complete as many kettlebell presses as possible using 25 percent of their body weight.

• Tire-flip. The teenagers were timed on flipping 150-pound truck tire over a 30-yard course.

• Shuttle run. The teenagers were timed on a 40-yard shuttle run.
