Pint-sized 'most pounds per ounce' Champion

Brainerd Warrior weightlifter Ellen Hickman is congratulated by Scott Parsons, event coordinator of the Sunrise Sertoma Warrior Liftathon Wednesday at Brainerd High School. Hickman just lifted a squat of 235 pounds, which helped her to break the all-time most pounds per ounce record, clinching the most pounds per ounce score of 4.44. It is the highest rating anyone has ever received in the 27-year history of the liftathon. The most pounds per ounce is determined by taking the total pounds of the clean, bench and squat and dividing the total by the weight of the person. Steve Kohls/ Brainerd Dispatch Gallery
