Uplifting Feat
Rose Pettitte, an eighth grader at Caddo Middle Magnet
School who has been training with Dr. Kyle Pierce for
three years at the LSUS USA Weightlifting Development
Center, holds a lift of 50kg in the Women’s 48kg
division of the USA Weightlifting American Open Championships
held in the University Center Theater in early December.
Pierce said Pettiette was among the youngest and at
100 lbs. was the smallest competitor in the meet. She
and her brother David, a sixth grader at Caddo Middle
Magnet, were guest lifters at the Quebec Junior Championships
in Canada Thanksgiving weekend. The Quebec junior weightlifting
team comes to Shreveport each summer to train for two
weeks with Pierce at the LSUS weightlifting complex.
In mid-March, Pierce was named one of three finalists
for the U.S. Olympic Committee’s “Doc”
Counsilman Science Award.
