Tandem Counselor Finishes Second in Strongman Nationals

Tandem counselor (and alum!) Monica Johnson (TFS '04) competed in Davenport, Iowa on October 4-5 at Strongman Corporation nationals. She finished 2nd overall for heavyweight women (her 2nd nationals ever) and officially earned her Pro card!!! Highlight outside of getting her pro card? She carryied 540 lbs. 60 feet on her back in 9.66 seconds! Wow!

 

If you want to hear more about her competition, her overall life (including how she prepared and persevered as well as the impact Tandem has had on her life) you can listen to an interview she did with “I Love Cville” at the link https://ilovecville.com/monicajohnson/. What’s next for her? Her last amateur competition (the amateur world championship) will be at the Arnold sports festival in Columbus, Ohio in March. 

Way to go, Monica! When she says she has your back she really means it!
