The US Olympic Weightlifting team will take the top 10 competitors (based on the percentage the athlete lifts beyond their qualifying total) to the '96 Games.
"My dream," David said, peering into the future, "is to receive my chiropractic degree next March, qualify for the Olympics in May, and compete in the Games next summer."

Life West Faculty/Students Treat "AIDS Ride 2" Cyclists
Life West faculty members Susan Bromley, DC, Michael Hickey, DC, and clinic interns Gregg Anderson, Rick Bonar, and Laurie Klein, treated participants of AIDS Ride 2, a 525-mile bicycle trek from San Francisco to Los Angeles, May 14-20, that raised money for AIDS research and medical services. The group offered adjustments, and cared for the inevitable strains, sore muscles, and related musculoskeletal conditions associated with long-distance bicycling.
Approximately 2,500 cyclists participated in this year's AIDS Ride, which raised an estimated $3.9 million for the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the Jeffrey Goodman Special Care Clinic in Los Angeles. Each cyclist was required to raise a minimum of $2,000 to participate.
