Mooney wins gold
medals
Howard Mooney is one
fellow who can prove that
you don't have to see what
you're doing to be a cham-
pion athlete.
The 41-year-old
Pahrumpian, who is blind,
captured three gold medals
in the 1997 Silver State
Games in Carson City last
weekend.
Mooney's strength paid
off in the Masters Division
of the Power Lifting com-
petition, winning the bench
press with 354 pounds, the
squat with 353 pounds and
the dead lift with 475
pounds.
The 1,182 pounds he
lifted was shy of his per-
sonal best of 1,234 pounds.
The victories made him
eligible to compete in the
world meet for blind ath-
letes in September in Colo-
rado Springs, Colo.
