The bi-annual Speed, Strength, Training (SST) contest between Kenai Central High School, Nikiski Middle-High School, and Soldotna High School is scheduled for Wednesday, November 11 at Kenai Central High School. Event time is 6:00 p.m and admission is free.
The SST program provides the opportunity to highlight the student efforts in the way of the SST Competition. Students compete in the fall with the running component. It includes the broad jump, vertical jump, 40 yard dash, I test, and FGB (Fight Gone Bad). In the spring, students compete with the lifting component, including the squat, clean, snatch, and FGB. Students compete against their age group (11-12 Boys, 11-12 Girls, 9-10 Boys, and 9-10 Girls). The three schools competed for the traveling trophy. Students have discovered the benefits of the SST program and continue to increase in the areas of strength, endurance, flexibility, speed, explosiveness, quickness, and mental toughness as is shown in the event, Fight Gone Bad (FGB).
