Help support the national team’s campaign through the remainder of the 2021 calendar year and into the 2021-2022 competitive season by chipping away at the anticipated team travel costs of $12,000 to $15,000! After raising a record amount of funds during the 2020 40forForty campaign, the team qualified a record number of student-athletes to compete at national events this year! The University of Texas Weightlifting Team will be competing at national competitions in Detroit, MI for 2021 Under 25 Nationals; in Denver, CO for the 2021 North American Open Finals; and in Columbus, OH for the 2022 University National Championships!
The University of Texas Weightlifting Team formed in 2016 as a collection of students that shared an interest in the Olympic sport of weightlifting and has since developed into a nationally competitive team! The team has grown each year from its three original members in 2016 to over 20 active members in 2021! The UT Weightlifting Team has increased its national team contingent in each of the last six years and has produced multiple medalists at the last two University National Championships. The Team recently competed at the 2021 University National Championship and the women's team placed second in the country.
The team is officially sponsored by the Department of Recreational Sports and coached by former UT exercise science majors utilizing evidence-based, research-backed practices learned as students in the Kinesiology Department. The team is comprised of students from all areas of the university, including: engineering, business, nursing, kinesiology, mathematics, biology, philosophy, and computer science.
The money raised through this crowdfunding campaign will address the immediate needs of the program that consist of travel to major national competitions, lodging, uniforms, and meet entry fees. The most immediate need will be in sending members to 2021 Under 25 National Championships in Detroit, MI (July 2021), and the 2021 American Open Finals in Denver, CO (December 2021)!
While the sport of weightlifting is an original Olympic event, it is not currently an NCAA sport. As there is no presence in the NCAA, funding from major universities is scarce. The students of the University of Texas Weightlifting Team have been working to create a program that provides student-athletes in weightlifting with athletic opportunities on par with contemporary collegiate athletic standards.
Your past support has been essential to the growth and success of our team and your continued support is vital to our future success! Thank you for your generosity and belief in UT Weightlifting!
