Tiger Highlight: Iron Tigers - Building Stronger Futures! 🏋️♂️🐯💪
Last week witnessed an incredible turnout at Iron Tigers—a before and after-school weightlifting and conditioning program. The mornings belong to the "Zombie Squad," with around 50 middle schoolers dedicating themselves from 6-7:30 AM. Additionally, the high school Iron Tigers program focuses on lifting and exercise after school from 3-4:30 PM, providing an opportunity for students not in PE classes. Coaches Jackson and Overton lead the morning sessions, while Coach Franks and Coach Karnes take charge of the afternoon groups.
Thank you to our Tiger coaches for providing our student-athletes with this invaluable platform to grow and thrive. Your dedication truly shapes the future of Tiger Athletics! #STJIronTigers #stjschools #tigerpride
