Reply #67: Isn't there something wrong with people who can't lift 300 lbs? [View All]

300 lb Cheryl Haworth can do that and a lot more.

Haworth's appeal, however, extends beyond the sport of weight lifting. A versatile athlete, she can run forty yards in 5.5 seconds, jump 30-inch vertical leaps, and perform front, back, and sideway splits. She is also a talented artist. She graduated from the Savannah Arts Academy in 2001, and in 2006 she earned a degree in historic preservation at the Savannah College of Art and Design. Much like legendary Georgia strongman Paul Anderson, with whom she is sometimes compared, Haworth has been an innovator. She seems destined to serve as an enduring role model for women in sports.
