Phase 1 is now complete!
The quickest way for us to make an impact with the student-athletes this year was to purchase most of the free-weights for this project now and make them available. Earlier in the school year, we purchased $30,000+ in dumbbells, kettlebells, plates, fixed bars, curl bars, and straight bars, as well as plyo boxes and 2 resistance push/pull carts.
The rest of the weight room renovation will have to be done all at once. Since the flooring is a good portion of the remaining budget, when the rest of the funds are raised, we will empty the entire weight room, install a new durable floor, and purchase all the new more-permanent equipment. New weight stations, cable machines, turf workout strip, deadlift stations, and more are all in the plans for the rest of this renovation.
This project is one of those projects that has the opportunity to benefit and enhance every athlete and team. The Okemos Athletic Boosters acts as a link between the community and OHS athletic programs. Together, we can strengthen the foundation of athletics over the next 10 to 15 years with this single project. Please consider contributing to the 2024 Booster Legacy Project to demonstrate our appreciation for the students and athletes.
