Olympic Lifting Coach: Abby Ruston

Abby Ruston has had one clear vision since the age of five; to be an Olympian. At that early age, she did not know how she would get there; she only knew she was born to be there. At age nine, she picked up her first shot on a whim. Abby quickly learned that she had a talent for this event as well as an ever growing passion for it. She has never looked back since that day and has continued to pursue her Olympic dreams in the sport of track and field, achieving some major accomplishments over the years. Abby became the first female to throw 50 feet in the shot put while competing for Texas A&M University. She went on to become a two-time NCAA All-American while completing her graduate degree at Texas State University. She also had the honor of representing the USA in the IAAF World Indoor Championships in the spring of 2008.
