Woolfolk's uplifting story
By Eli Saslow, Washington Post Staff Writer
"Woolfolk's competitive weightlifting career started in an Annapolis garage -- make that a sloped, cold, cramped garage filled with outdated equipment. She would come home from a day of classes at Broadneck High School, pile on a few layers of winter clothes and shiver through a 90-minute workout. Sometimes, if Woolfolk accidentally dropped a weight, it would roll out of the garage, down the driveway and into the street."

Natalie Woolfolk established U.S. records for her weight class in both Olympic lifts: the snatch (220 pounds) and the clean-and-jerk (260 pounds). "I know I can make a name for myself in this sport."
